last weeks flame nebula pic merged with last nights horsehead nebula pic

[5ash]

Took some 150sec unguided shots of the horsehead nebula at iso1600 using my unmodified canon350d attached to an 8inch LX90 operating at F4.2. Of 24 shots only 6 showed perfectly round stars in centre of field of view. So 6 shots were stacked in images plus using adaptive addition. Picture was digitally stretched in images plus to match last weeks flame neb pic. The two were then merged using photostitch and resulting pic cropped and adjusted in PS . I added the second pic as the first looked to dark on my monitor after i uploaded it , i hope the second one looks better.
