Description

First time using a filter. Optolong UHC. You can see some of the red tint from the filter, I did not play much with removal of that yet. For now I'm just thrilled to get longer exposure times from my backyard to have more detail readily present, even at this relatively short focal length. First time capturing any detail from the horsehead nebula. Wasn't expecting to get anything there, that was a pleasant surpise.
