Description

First attempt at the horse head nebula and a bit disappointing. I think this image exhibits what's referred to as "walking noise". I'm not sure what causes this but I think the mount was not aligned properly. Really too bad as this was one of the first nights in a long time without the moon. Lesson learned!

This was cropped from a larger image that included the Orion Nebula. I think only now do I appreciate just how wide the field of view is with the Redcat.
