Description

The last 6 weeks were really frutstrating  here in Munich for us astro people. Gray and drizzle weather all the time. Wintertime is always a problem in this region.
I could find one gap in the sky last week to catch the horse head nebula with my new wide field instrument.
The alignment is still not perfect around the edges but ok to gather more experience.
At the end I could collect 165min of photons. The guiding with my Ioptron GEM45 runs flawless and the image processing was not as bad for my little PixInsight experience.
And it was a good target to improve the own skills step by step.
