Description

My second attempt of the Horsehead Nebula. It is much improved over my previous attempt using a star tracker and an unmodded DSLR, but I had hoped for a little better resolution. It was also literally full moon. At my latitude and with trees blocking sourth-east and south-west, I can't get more than 5h of exposure of Orion targets per night. I was considering getting som SII data later, but I am not sure it is worth it for this target, more Ha would probably give a better effect. This is also the first time I have had to deal with halos from the L-eXtreme filter - a bit annoying, but I don't think it ended up being too distracting in the final images.

I found that the unconventional O(O/H)H palette looks really nice here, with blue nebulosity and yellow stars. But please also check out the standard HOO version, if a more natural colour palette is more to your liking!
