*Horsehead and Flame Neb*

Last night was very frustrating.
Took a while to setup all the gear, with a promising clear session ahead.
Once I was polar aligned I had to wait for Orion to clear some tall trees.
Sure enough as I slew over to the hh/flame area it clouded over with high staggered clouds.
I was fuming, instead of getting nice clean frames I got ghostly glowing patchy images. The majority were ruined.

This is the result of some that made it, but only just.
Once again I was beaten by the sunrise.

This is the image of the Horsehead and Flame nebulae.

Average Stack of 46 x 120 sec (1.5 hours) @ ISO 1600 (darks, flats, bias applied).
Imaged through the TOA 130 @ F/5.8 using the Canon 20Da.

Hope you enjoy, comments welcome.
