While I was sleeping ...Horsehead Nebula

Another first time for me. Sunday night looked to be clear all night long so after collecting some subs on the Tarantula I setup NINA around 9.30pm to go to the Horsehead and run till 4 in the morning ticking the box to do auto meridian flip and plate solve re-centre etc... I was amazed to wake and find it had done that successfully collecting nearly 6 hours worth of data and with good framing and even finishing by parking and warming the camera.

Anyway here's a stack on the best 4hr 25min using 300s exposures ASI533mc, Askar 400, Lextreme filter.

I did some careful processing to bring out more of the yellow in the flame as the Lextreme has a tendency to make everything plain red.
