Description

I decided to do this target as a small side project next to the Horsehead Nebula, which rises a little bit later in the night. Little did I realize, just how bad our weather in Europe would become!
It took me a good month to collect the data for this image, a little under 15hrs! Ouch.

Overall I'm very happy with the result of this image, hope you guys like it!
