Ah hibernating- I was thinking I hadn't seen you post an image in a while.

I took this one last night. Problem is - no flats or darks so I really clipped it. I would love to tease this out a bit as there is a nice dust trail separating the two, as well as another nebula at trail's end. Can't do it without the flats. I'm still testing out the L-enhance filter on my Nikon D5300. This was with a 50mm lens 45 images at ISO 800 and @ 3minutes on my travel rig that never travels. :lol:

Thanks, Bruce.

Pete, I assume you are talking about NGC 1499. A 50mm lens takes care of that for me. I just put the Pleiades in the lower right hand corner, put on an H Alpha lens, and as they say in zee French, Voiyla! :lol:

Impressive shot of the NGC 1499... nice to also get M45 in same field. You are doing amazing imaging with your 'travel rig'.

Keep it up..
