That’s great, looks like everything is coming together.

Looks like you’re white balance is off a tad, a little orange.

White balance , that's it Brian thank you Buddy . I shot lum and the red channel cause it's been so cold . It's been a while since I did any processing of deep space objects , didn't even look at my workflow from my other dso targets , adding 2 more nights of data to it and working on m43 and the flame. I tested on all 3 collecting a lil' bit on each one freezing my tale off . Ed , got me going once again , Friday night ! the autofocuser setup was preventing a sequence . You doing alright out in the FIRE state? It was 79 today but, the freeze is coming back.

Ha! The fire State!
We're working on a bumper crop of new brush for later this year.
Been raining cats and dogs here.

Oh, but, um, we are still in a drought.
I didn't know a drought could drown you and wash your house away.

Oh yea , those flash flood rain storms can make your life a living ---- . We get them right when the ground is hard as bedrock and it just doesn't soak in Sonny , so you know where it goes right in the way of anything. I had to take the DEC motor and plastic cover off and "Jerry rig" it back together after a Plate solve drove it into the mount. It's always something with my po'man rig .

Beautiful work Stepping, the definition in the Horse Head is really great.

Thank you Craig , I had to run that in "live stacking" in Sharpcap . Ed got me my autofocus setup in Sgp later that night , the next night my dec motor casing broke from running into the mount . I took the non- repairable casing off and used a plastic lunch meat container and duck tape and put it back on. All that's left is testing after 7 days of rain moves out. It sure is pretty for my 1st try on this target with this camera.
