I'm not familiar with IC405 but I do love that ethereal wispiness - you captured it well.

I think I like this one more than the others, there's lot's of delicate nebulosity showing.  It just goes to show what you can record given dark skies and also puts into perspective what we've managed to achieve given our poor conditions here.

Any chance of attaching details with these wonderful images ?

Mark it's the Flaming Star nebula. Lovely image Chris. I hope you are going to try out some more esoteric objects as you have such great skies.

Chris,

All 3 images (Horsehead, Quintet & Flaming Star) look terrific now they've been processed and this Flaming Star one is definitely my favourite of the three.

Im so jealous guy's, im loving the images your all sending back, all inky dark and with loads of colour variation.

Can anyone post a single sub? I'd love to see what your getting under dark skies.
