Description

This was supposed to be a contribution to the FWAS group target - Flaming Star and Tadpoles Nebulae. With the 6200MM though I can capture more field of view so I pushed the two nebulae over to the edge in order to capture M36 plus a couple of NGC nebulae.

Only once I started processing the sub-exposures did I realize that my rotation was off by 13 degrees, and the framing for the Flaming Star Nebula doesn't satisfy the group's master framing image. So I had to start again on that project.

Meanwhile here is my NB effort. Of course, no reflection nebulosity (blue) in this image since Ha and SII are in the red frequency range, and OIII is green. I did use RGB filters for the stars, but not enough time to capture the refection nebula in IC405.
