Description

This image of the Monkey Head Nebula in Orion was taken through an Explore Scientific 127ED with a ZWO ASI1600mm Pro and Hotech field flattener over two nights in late November. The image comprises:

SI: 12 x 300s

Ha: 20 x 180s

OIII: 12 x 300s

Total exposure time was three hours, which was a lot less than I'd wanted, but the weather refused to cooperate.

The image was captured in APT, processed in Pixinsight and tweaked in Photoshop.
