Description

With another unexpected clear night and nothing planned to shoot, I decided to grab some color for my HorseHead nebula image. What I particularly like about this is that all of the data was acquired from a red zone and the amount of brown dust showing up in my RGB data was encouraging. The data was actually so colorful that I felt like I had to constantly tone down the saturation... Since this is the first time I've imaged this region in color, I'm not sure if this is common or not. I'd love to hear any C&C's about improving this image as I'm kind of throwing this out there to see your thoughts. Thanks for looking!!
