Description

I recently imaged Horsehead and Flame Nebula (https://www.astrobin.com/vp24ar/) using my widefield refractor (Redcat 51). This image is processed data from the infrared data HST. The Horsehead Nebula appears like a ghost rising from the interstellar foam. It appears transparent and ethereal at infrared wavelengths. Its rich tapestry contrasts beautifully against the background of Milky Way stars and distant galaxies.
