Description

While I was killing some time waiting for the Horsehead to clear the trees, I shot this with both scopes/cameras on 2 nights. This is REALLY a hard object to process (and I don't think I did it justice) cause the stars are soooo bright and there's a lot of halos around the bright ones, but you can't get rid of this and get the nebulosity to show up.

Anyway, hope ya like it!

Tom
