Description

I have never shot Horsehead at longer focal length and decided to collect data during moon time . I shot Ha and SII with RGB for stars. However, I cannot get a good mix with HaSII with RGB stars. so I decided to throw away SII data and just blended Ha with RGB data. 

I didn't end up as much details as I was hoping for.. but at this point I think I am done and moving on ;)

The stunning horse head from @John Hayes is an inspiration and the reflection portion in his image is one the best I have seen (and I couldn't come anywhere near it because the data is primarily narrowband)
