Description

The Horsehead and Flame Nebula in HaRGB! Also known as Barnard-33, the Horsehead Nebula is an iconic celestial object around 1,500 light years away from Earth and is located in the constellation of Orion. I captured this from Bortle 7!

Color vs Mono:

Visit my website or Instagram page to compare my image from last year using the same IMX294 sensor, but in color. Despite the identical setup, total exposure, and similar sky conditions, you'll notice significant differences. This demonstrates the sensitivity of a monochrome camera.
