Description

The Horsehead imaged with a non-modified DSLR. The resulting image is a bit different from what we usually see, with blue reflection nebulas being more prominent than the red emission clouds.

A little bit more than 6 hours total time, to be compared to the first trial in just one hour. This image has 2,5x more signal.
