Description

My first (and second - see rev B) attempt at Horsehead.

Rev A: was short on time but couldn’t wait to get some test shots. Turned out better than I was expecting but I look forward to revisitng this target over the winter. Need lots more integration.

Rev B: Completely reimaged with a CLS filter, longer integration, and with cal frames. Also improved post-proc workflow.

Tips/suggestions would be much appreciated!

Description: Reimaged with CLS filter (+3/4 moon), more and longer subs, and with calibration frames. The Flame Nebula lost some of its brilliance compared to the natural color broadband without CLS cuts, but the filter enabled longer exposure which brought out more of the Ha nebulosity around the Horsehead.
