Description

My favourite celestial object, and the one that started my love affair with astronomy and astrophotography.

This is my first rendition of the Horsehead Nebula for 2021. Shown here in a slightly wider view that also includes the Flame Nebula, the star Alnitak and other nearby features.

This is just over 10hrs of data and I have played around with a blend of SHO + HOO to create this subtle and warm palette.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
