Help with imaging IC 2118

Hi All,

Had my 2nd attempt at imaging IC 2118 last night.
Have the IC 2118 region between Rigel, Cursa and HIP 23364 centrally located in the frame.

Imaged with my 450D, used a 17-85mm EFS lens at 85mm, F5.6 and ISO 800. Took 16 x 300 second subs, 6 x 300 second darks and 16 x 1/30 th second flats. Took the flats at ISO 100 as per Humayun's advice.

Processed in Images Plus
Guided with my DMK using IC Capture and Alls Reticle.

Not much of a hint even of IC 2118.
What am I doing wrong here? I would have thought that 80 minutes would have been long enough to capture it.



Any advice greatly appreciated.

Regards
Trevor
