Description

The Horsehead was a major bucket list item for me at the 2017 Connecticut Star Party. I tried shooting it once last year with mediocre equipment and terrible light pollution, so this was a much better opportunity. I only managed 38 minutes of exposure time, but the result was worth the effort.
