Description

I'm really freaking proud of this shot I took last night! The Horsehead and flame nebula. It can be a very challenging target and this is hands down my best work taking it on

The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which bears some resemblance to a horse's head when viewed from Earth.

This was my first light with my new canon 450d with a full spectrum mod !!! EPIC!
