B 33 / IC 434 / NGC 2024 / NGC 2023
18/19th Nov - Another night of troubleshooting spacing/tilt/collimation with the hyperstar- and although feel i got a bit closer i'm still not happy with the star shapes. Anyways, the only way I can keep sane about such tedious tweaking is to keep pushing out some images, even if imperfect..so after i'd had enough troubleshooting for the night handed the reigns over to ASIAIR and went to bed. Lots of passing clouds all night so after waking up I was only greeted with less than 2hrs of useable data unfortunately...

I love all the reflection nebula in this region - although I think there might be a few additional REFLECTIONS in the mix caused by our good friend Alnitak! Bit of denoise necessary due to limited integration too.
