Description

I couldnt decide which one I liked the look of, so here you go.

I collected this data last year, lost the Ha and Oiii data along the way, then eventually did the Sulphur, lost it along the way until today and now I m finally putting it all together.  (Roughly 18 Hrs of data collected, not sure how many frames I threw away during stacking)

Strange thing for me is how the Sii signal changes this flame from a silky smooth object in to a bit of a monster. I m sure the lack of Oiii is playing a role here, but I will collect more, hopefully this year! If I ever get any more clear skies.

I had to resize this by 50% due to the size limitations on here, but I hope you enjoy. Blurxterminator has got me reprocessing a lot of old images!
