Description

This image contains around 5 hours of RGB data plus 7 more hours of Ha (hydrogen alpha) in order to point out the red-ishness of the horsehead nebula. I am in love with this framing where you can clearly see all of the nebulae and 3 famous stars of Orion's belt, Alnitak - Alnilam - Mintaka, as well the interstellar dust, those dark and foggy spots.

This exposure was taken with N.I.N.A. astrophotography tool during the month of December 2022, using the William Optics RedCat51 lens, attached to unmodified Nikon D5600 DSLR, carried on SkyWatched EQ5 Pro GoTo mount, guided by ZWO mini scope and ASI120mm mini camera. Very bad weather conditions did not allow me to gather more useful hours of integration. I will visit this nebula again next year because I am moving to a new project now, the witch head nebula. Stay tuned!
