Description

Hello everyone, 

Here's my latest image of the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae. I captured these over the New Moon weekend (3/9/24) from the Denver Astronomical's dark site location (bortle 2/3 skies). I shot 95, 120-second exposures for just a little over three hours of data. I enjoyed shooting this broadband target with just a light filter on my one-shot color camera. I would like to get more data and maybe shoot some HA data too. I hope you enjoy the picture. Any feedback is appreciated. 

Thank you.
