383L+ Horsehead and Flame in HAlpha

Full moon very close to Orion on the 9th Dec so restricted to HAlpha
This was taken using a 383L+ mono, a Skywatcher ED80 and 16x300s subs binned 2x2
Guiding was with a Meade DSI and C8 at f10 all on an EQ6 controlled by EQASCOM.

Hi Tim,
Thats a really nice picture, the 2x2 binning looks to have given plently of depth without costing resolution.

Thanks Steve,
The combination of a 383 and ED80 provide an ideal FOV for larger deep sky objects such as M42, M33, Pleiades, North American and Pelican nebula.
I mainly use 2x2 because imaging time is so limited here in cloudy Shropshire.

Hi Tim,
You have a very nice image there. And I agree with Steve about the 2x2 bining.
I know what you mean about those pesky clouds. It's been terrible the last couple off weeks, over the boarder, here in Cheshire.
Now- We have thick snow and more cloud
Seasons Greetings

Very nice ... I'm in Preston Lancs so image time is premium, I dont blame you for binning but this is a bright target thats quite easy to see in a big newtonian.
I try to research the brightness of objects before binning..
As said its a great image
