Horsehead and Flame Nebula

Yesterday evening I made some pictures of the flame nebula (NGC2024) and horsehead nebula (IC434). For the first time I used my new H-alpha filter 13nm narrowband. It was difficult to get the stars in focus but next time I will spend more time to get this fixed. 
Conditions :  at start high humidity, later freezing -2.5°C and high clouds. So conditions were poor but still I'm proud of the final resuls. My best ever flame  and horsehead nebula.
Setting : Nikon D7500 and TLAPO 80/480 f/6; H-alpha ISO6400 19x90s; lights ISO3200 10x60. Cameracontrol with DigiCamControl; stacking using APP and final editing with CS4.
