Description

The Horsehead and Flame Nebula in HaRGB. One of the most iconic deep-sky areas in the night sky, full of beautiful stars, hydrogen alpha and cosmic dust. Who remembers seeing the Horsehead in school science books? This is my best version of this area to date, where I used my new monochrome camera to acquire 14h of data and produce this result. The idea behind the processing was to use Ha as Luminance and combine it with the RGB image. Only this way I was able to get this rich color and fine details.
