Horsehead and Flame
This is my first attempt at this and it's a work in progress. I have always wanted to image it and this was probably the structure that got me interested in astrophotography. There's just so many wonderful things within it.
As always, equipment info:
Scope: 8" Newt
Mount: EQ6
Camera: unmodded Canon 400D
ISO800
Exposure: 7x8mins
Guidescope: 60mm f/11 tasco refractor
Guidecamera: unmodded toucam
Filter: Hutech LPS
Ambient temperature: 18 degrees
A little windy at times
Stacked in DSS (lights, darks and flats) and processed using PS.
Fairly happy given the camera is unmodded and it was quite warm and windy at times. I had to throw out 3 subs as the area of the sky crossed the meridian and I had to re-calibrate PHD. Looking forward to collecting some more photons.
