Description

This is the Horsehead and Flame Nebula - my latest project.  I captured it with my Celestron RASA telescope and mono camera.  It's most certainly a wild false-color image using a mix of Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Sulfur filters.  I still plan to revisit this target later in the year and go for true color.

All of the data was captured in October and November 2021.

Ha (60 exposures, 3 minutes each)
SII (60 exposures, 3 minutes each)
OIII (120 exposures, 1 minute each)

Total exposure time: 8 hours

Gain 75, Offset 15 used on all.
