Description

Here is my latest Horsehead and Flame nebula image. This was taken from my light polluted front yard in Florida. The night was normal, 94 percent humidity.

This was done with my normal 30 second sub exposures.

So those who wonder yes it's possible to shoot the Horsehead with very short exposures and with a non-modified color camera. I had to use much more noise reduction then I would like. I could barely see the flame in an individual sub. There is no painting of color in this image.
