Horsehead, please don't laugh :)

Hi All,

Just thought I would post this attempt at the Horsehead on my super inferior camera. Being an unmodded 450D camera I wasn't expecting miracles just more interested to see if can get anything at all. I tried the push the red more but it affected all the rest bring out a lot of greens. I really had to push the processing and I know it is well clipped but overall I am happy with the results.

I will be definitely re-looking at the method of taking flats.

I can get more nebulosity out of this but at the same time, I get a lot of unwanted artifacts.

156 Lights
40 Darks
