Hi All,

Thanks for the comments.

Tileys, yes I mean the photo was taken solely on the tracking of the mount. Normally I would autoguide, but with the passing cloud it was impossible.

JenChris, yea its very frustrating. I barely had any chance to image anything since October. Every time I was free or there was no moon, the skies were cloudy. I really thought Saturday was going to be a good night and so did the rest of the astronomy crew I o out there with. I've been aiming for the Horsehead and flame since last year. At least I got a half decent image.

Anyway I have tweaked the image a little further and evened out the gradient. I think the sky looks a bit more like space now. I also toned down the overexposure on the bright star in Orions belt. Unfortunetly I had to reduce the size of this image too as I could not attach it.

Regards,

Tom
