Half baked horse head

This was my project for last month, playing around more with an achro refractor. But between clouds, heat noise and the HEQ5 pro blowing up, I won't be getting any more data any time soon on this project. So here it is, the half baked horsehead. Very noisy and dim, needs way more time in the oven. I do think I'm getting a little better at imaging with achros though.

Details, um can't remember. A bunch of filters ranging from yellow, to CLS to Baader Semi-apo, SW120mm f5 achro refractor, unmodified Pentax K-x. Sub data collected over 4 nights, but some nights only had a few minutes due to cloud. It's clear all day here and only cloudy at night. The only time it's clear at night is when there's a full moon. #@$%%$##@
