Description

I think this picture of the witch head nebula is my favorite one that I have taken so far! It was interesting to find because it's so faint, but conveniently so close to Rigel. Unfortunately, there seems to be quite a bit of noise in it despite using plenty of dark and bias frames. I'm wondering if I should consider going back to a lower ISO.
