NGC2024 - Flame Nebula

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Stunning!
Focus is sooooo crisp.
A very pleasing result to look at.
Nice work

The colour in the 1st image is better

Looks pretty good. Sharp detail but I prefer the second of the three which has a slight dusky quality to the image.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. It's nice to get a reasonable image after so many failures.

I thought the area around the stars on the right in the first image looked too blue and hadn't appreciated the blue nebulosity in this area.

Is that just lights or did you add darks as well?
Good to hear you had no dew problems

Geoff - the first image is just flats and bias and the last two have had the full monty.
