The Flaming Star and Friend

[nighthound]

These two objects barely fit in frame with the Takahashi Sky 90 II at 407mm. This is IC 405 and 410 (catalogue numbers). The object on the left is named the Flaming Star Nebula. This is 54 minutes of total exposure time shooting 3 minute sub exposures to get there. 20D at 1600 ISO in prime focus. I plan to reshoot this and frame it up a little bit more to the left and increase time to 2 hours total. There's a lot more subtle nebulosity to get.

I think I'm going to stop looking at your astro threads. I can't stand the temptation.

Nah...the shots are just too good to miss. :) I'll try to be strong.
