Description

I had a perfect sky to work with. However I had a lot of problems last night which I will not

bore you by going into them. But because of the problems I did not get as many light frames

as I wanted. This is an object that requires a lot of light frames to align and stack if you want

a quality image when using a low exposure time like I use. I'm pleased that I was able to come

up with an image. I've only imaged this object one time with my Orion ED80 Refractor. So

last night I decided I would use my ED80 to image this object again. My latest attempt at

imaging IC 434 the Horsehead Nebula. Enjoy.
