Description

2 minutes acquisition, that is. About an hour processing .

I had forgotten about this data after giving it a first look, but after checking it again decided to go ahead and process it.

I had gone out before sunrise a couple of weeks ago and the sky was exceptionally clear with Orion at a very high elevation. I grabbed my camera, intervalometer and a cheap tripod, and was able to get a few subs before the sun starting coming up. It's not pretty, but I was surprised to see how much nebulosity and detail could be picked up in that short amount of time. A bit of the Horsehead Nebula can be seen, and even a hint of the Witch Head (apparent magnitude = 13).
