Description:
Flame Nebula and Horsehead Nebula This is my latest attempt on these beautiful targets. I have tried multiple times on these targets and this time I have pretty happy with the result. It is also challenging with Bortle 7 sky that I have where orion is in the southern sky low in altitude. It is blocked by a big tree until 2 hours before it passes the meridian line. Metropolitan Toronto is located about 40km south of where I live so the light pollution is really bad in the direction of Orion (Southern Sky) This is done through multiple nights in Ha and Oiii filters. Location: Southern Ontario Bortle 7 Scope: ES208CF (8" f/4 Newtonian) Camera: ASI294MM-P Exposures (200gain): 100x300sH, 50x300s O. (~15 hours in total) Calibrations: 30 Darks, 20 Flats for H and O DSS, PI, Photoshop
