Description

The famous region of Barnard 33, or Horse-head Nebula, and the Flame Nebula in Orion.
I captured this image in later winter 2021 in my home observatory in the Ruhrgebiet in Central Germany, one of the most light polluted areas in Europe.
The TMB 115/805 APO with the Borg 0,65x Superreducer @ 520mm focal length, combined with the full format chip of the ASI6200 provides a large field of view and a high resolution. S/N could be better; the constellation of Orion is in the southern sky and this part of the sky is heavily light polluted by the city lights of the Ruhrgebiet. Furthermore, I only had limited time to capture this object due to bad weather in late winter 2021 here in Germany.
The I used narrowband Ha, SII and OIII data for red, green and blue channel and added star colours from broadband RGB images.
