Description

This is my latest image. I took this last week using the Optolong 7nm Hydrogen alpha filter to enhance the image. I did 30x210 seconds of H-alpha and then a mere 15x240 seconds of luminance. It's called the Horsehead nebula due to the obscuration nebula that resembles a sea-horse profile. It also has the flame nebula to the left and that bright star is Alnitak...the left-most star in Orion's Belt. I consider this a work in progress, as I intend on accumulating much more time with that shutter open.
