Description

The Blue Horsehead Nebula 🐴 💙 in 🦂. Blue Horsehead - IC 4592 is a reflection nebula in Scorpius ♏ Constellation that is lit by Nu Scorpii. Image was an integration of two nights. When I integrated the first night it was not enough to bring out the details so a second night was needed to enhance the DSO but it appears that a faster lens would be needed to bring out the intended look in such a reflection nebula, which will be revisited in the future.
