IC 405

With the moon becoming a factor oncemore as it neared 1st quarter I had to wait for it to get quite low down before attempting the subs for IC 405 (The Flaming Star Nebula). Fortunately the transparency had become quite clear by that time and I was able to get a good series of exposures for this image of the nebulosity surrounding AE Aurigae. (sub included for comparison). Details: 10" F4.3 Newt. 15x 10minute exposures @ iso800 with CLS in DSS, CS2, Photobrush & XAT.
