Description

This is my second attempt at Horsehead Nebula, including Flame Nebula. It was my very first try using dithering. I'm pleased with how much noise the dithering process eliminated. I did not get as much exposure time as I'd like, due to a very late start. This was just under three hours total light exposure time.

Two minute light exposures

12 darks

12 dark flats

Equipment:
