Description

IC 434 - Horsehead & Flame Nebula.
After spending the last few weeks trying to gather data for this image I finally got around to making a final version.
  • This is by far the most exciting object for me and one that I looked forward to since I got into astrophotography.
  • I worked past the issue with Alnilam as best as I could. Handpicking exposures with smaller halos somewhat made the processing easier, but it's far from perfect.

All the best to you, clear skies.
Lupus.
