Horsehead - only 51 minutes of data

Hi Guys,
I finally got my system working after some technical problems
caused by a loose Lodestar connection.
It's fixed now.

I had to discard all my 1x1 binned frames as they were too noisy.
Many other frames were discarded due to clouds.
That left me with only 51 minutes of data.
I think I'll stick to 2x2 binning from now on.
I shot this last night between clouds & a lot of light pollution
from an outer suburb in Melbourne.

8" f6 Newt, QHY9, PHD guiding.

3 x 10 minute Ha for Luminance.
3 x 3 minute Red
2 x 3 minute Green
2 x 3 minute Blue
All binned 2x2.
Darks & bias applied - no flats.
