Flaming Star - IC 405

From back in May. I found I hadn't processed this, I think I tried and didn't care for my first go around on it. It has minimal data on it, but I wanted to try again as I was bored.

Jim,

Nice work, you have excellent colors and the framing is spot on. Looks a bit clipped to my eye - but we often disagree on that so no worries

Thanks Mike. This data was a bit harder to process, I don't recall exactly but the data didn't seem all that good. So I totally agree with you that some of it got clipped. We are on the same page on this.

Its always a bit funny when you take a data set in your usual way with nothing to point to that is an issue, and then, for whatever reason, it just doesn't seem to want to come together well when you try to process it. I certainly have had the experience in the past. Also when I am getting good results with images and I am seemingly getting better results each time, I start to always expect that on each dataset I collect and process, and of course, it doesn't always work that way for many reasons.

In any case, this is still a very nice result which compares quite favorably to your early efforts.
