First attempt at horsehead and flame nebua

[Beryl]

Hi everyone
This is my first time posting any pics. Although I have done some photography, this is my first shot of the horsey and flame. Using a Long Pern. Unfortunately I have a bit of a blue colouring on the brighter stars as I need the flattener in, I thought I would show you all my shot. Im pretty proud of it. :)

There's 14 x 5 minute subs, and 15 x 5 minute darks processed.
let me know what you think.

So you should be proud of it, Beryl. Good stuff!:thumbsup:

Good effort. Much better than my first attempt at the horse.

Hi Berly,

:welcome: to IIS

That is a great shot and something to be proud of. My 1st shot wasn't nearly that good but I was still very proud too.

Cheers

Hi Beryl,

That is very good, are you able to upload a jpg version, that should allow you to upload a decent sized image here.

hi guys
sorry about the size of the pic hopefully this one is better.
If anyone might be able to give me an opinion on a reason for the blue discolouring of the brighter stars...... white balance in camera (cannon 1100D)??? It would be much appreciated
Thanks :)

Hi Beryl,
Are you able to post a link to an unprocessed raw frame, it would have to be an external site like dropbox or astrobin
How did you stack them?

hi alistairsam,
bear with me..... im pretty new to all this. I can upload another image here of a raw file. i dont really know what dropbox is. the fies were stacked by a friend of mine using deep sky stacker.
