Description

Here is my first take on the classic Horsehead Nebula found in Orion.  The sky was clear of clouds but probably more haze from typical Phoenix pollution than I would like but it is what it is.  Used my Optolong Ultimate narrowband filter on this.  I also have purchased and tried the new BlurXTerminator plugin from Russell Croman.  I need to review Adam Block's tutorial on this as I think I can probably improve this just a little more but this is a first pass.

Nice to be back out imaging.  Had a few issues with my knees but I'm on the mend.  This getting old stuff is for the birds.  Anyway, enjoy and happy holidays to all.
