Description

A classic which I have never shot since getting a proper rig.

I love the structure and colour variation in the dust under the horsehead, and tried to bring that out during the processing. In particular, the way that hints of blue reflection appear along the bank of dust under the HH is very pleasing.

Honestly, this image didn't really need the Ha addition, but I had the data, so used it to slightly enhance those regions. Mouse-over to see the Hydrogen-alpha data.
