Rho Ophiuchus
Here's my first shot from astrofest 2018. QHY9/FSQ106N on G11/Lodestar OAG and Astronomik 742nm IR filter - 64x300s.

Little noisy. Seems that whatever you do you always need some more subs with Rho.
Here's the standard blend IR IR/LUM LUM with one I baked earlier.

Horse Head
This one was only 23x300s collected over a few freezing mornings between 4:00am and 5:30am (sub zero cool) but for one of the mornings where my laptop froze and conspired against me. I had no end of troubles with USB and serial ports disconnecting so I called it quit after collecting only an extra 4 subs in one hour. It needs a lot more IR in the HH but the flame being brighter came up alright.
