Flame Nebula NGC2024 with COAST

Learning from my first picture M104 with the COAST telescope in Tenerife I was able to edit my second picture, NGC2024 or Flame Nebula. It was more complicated then expected as the nebula is rather faint. Again, RGB pixels were alligned and gamma boost up. DeepSkyStacker was used to convert from Fits to Tiff and final editing using CS4.
