This image was one that I had tried to take during 2018/2019, but the weather never really let me. I got as far as capturing a few Ha subs before the clouds rolled over, not clearing again until winter had passed. My current version is a HaRGB composite image. I took the LRGB image on a long november night, and got the scope in some... interesting positions

My LRGB Version of the Flaming star and Tadpole Nebulae - 5h 20m total exposure

Gain 75, Offset 15, 1 minute exposures

The Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebulae in HaRGB - 7h 26m total exposure

LRGB - Gain 75, Offset 15, 1 minute exposures (5h 20m)

Ha - Gain 139, Offset 21, 3 minute exposures(2h 6m)

While I was capturing, I had failed to notice that my dew heater controller had failed, so for almost all the subs used for the Ha, it was affected very heavily by dew. Because of this, the image is very low contrast and is not great quality.
