Difficult object to capture "properly" in narrowband only, as it's both an emission and reflection nebula, and the OIII data is almost non existant.

I managed to get enough OIII data to somewhat highlight the areas that would be part of the reflection nebula (and even then, the OIII data is stretched to the limit).

Shot between the 3rd and the 9th of January 2025.

Palette: HSS, with OIII added in a second stage with a blue-ish tint.

IC 405 - Flaming Star
