IC405 Flaming Star in Auriga

[Fay]

I am thinking either this is difficult to get or I had dew on my optics. It was a really dewy night, I had dew heaters on but should have checked to see if all was ok.

I cannot seem to do a lot with it, although I think a lot of the haze is nebula.

12x600 Atik 314L/WO ZS66, ha, cls, I think 081209.

Fay,

That's a good attempt at a very difficult object but as you say it doesn't look quite right somehow. Being dewed up a bit would certainly lower contrast, how did you process it ?

Any reason for using a CLS and Ha filter together ?

[Fay]

forgot the cls was on there, Robert. Processed with levels curves etc etc

Dew I reckon. The stars were nice and tight at the top, but very fuzzy at the bottom with haloes.

It'll be a good job when you have another go at it.

[Fay]

It was the dampest night I remember. Everything looked like it had water poured over it. I will have another go
