Description

The Horsehead Nebula, captured in HaLRGB. I have a total of 10.3 hours of data in this image.

The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. It appears within the southern region of the dense dust cloud known as Lynds 1630, along the edge of the much larger, active star-forming H II region called IC 434.

Description: Added 80 min of Ha data. Completely frustrated with the microlensing though.
