Still seeing if I can easily process out the reflections to try to keep the whole frame but it's not gone so well yet. So, quick process with a bit less but higher quality data.

It is a region that certainly does get done to death, the ONLY region I picked it is because the flame nebula is NGC 2024 and the year 2024 was coming to a close.

I've got a lot of family that are heavily invested in horses but not much interest in space nice way to combine the two

The reflection arc may be most easily simply cropped out. Luckily it on the side.
Horse head is a horror test of baffling and reflections.

I tried this target last year and just gave up processing. I have fantastic detail in the HH but the reflections just killed me. So good for you.

I've imaged this region with a few setups and apart from a refractor I've always had reflections of one sort or another. Not as much detail in the HH as I'd like but I don't have any control over the seeing.

This is a perfect base to integrate your pending Ha which will no doubt bring this image to another level again.

Still haven't gotten around to capturing any Ha, will get there at some point I guess.
