Description

After months of clouds I had two clear but frosty nights. The night before, when I collected data on the california nebula I had ice flowers on my lens :-( To avoid that I decided to image something not too high in the sky with my Newton. I went for the horsehead but I forgot what a **** Alnitak is. And then there was the moon... So I went back to my all time favourite and gave a shot on a HDR image. Unfortunately I lost at least 45 mins to light pollution from the nearby FAIR construction site... I saw an ugly gradient in one corner.
