Another couple of images captured by my #Vespera II telescope over the past few clear nights, and processed in Siril. The #Pleiades and the #Horsehead Nebula.

I remember seeing the Horsehead nebula in my parents’ encyclopedia as a kid. I was amazed at how such a thing could exist. And now technologyy has evolved so far, that I can take the same picture from my own backyard!
Here it is accompanied by the Flame nebula in the lower left together with the star Allnitak, which is the left most star in Orion’s belt. #horsehead #B33 #NGC2023 #horseheadnebula #flamenebula #astronomy #astrophotography #deepsky #backyardastronomy #astroshots #astrophoto #Space #universe #galaxy #universetoday #nightsky #stars #galaxy #nightphotography #skywatcher #touptek #backyardastrophotography

I don't often get to photograph the Horsehead nebula (IC 434) due to the position of obstructions around the garden, but needed to test out the range of a replacement NUC, so it seemed like an ideal subject

After the release of the sublime image of the Horsehead Nebula by Euclid, here is a tribute to earlier endeavors, with this beautiful 1977 cover of Science Magazine, featuring a photographic plate by the National Geographic Society - Palomar Observatory Sky Survey

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The blue supergiant star #Alnitak is 1250 light years away and is actually a triple star system. It serves as the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. The #Flame Nebula on the left and the #Horsehead Nebula on the right are emission nebulae energized by Alnitak. The area rises this time of year after 2am at my location. This image is only 10 five-minute exposures captured on a partly cloudy morning that caused me to throw away 25 additional images. #StillLearning

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Horsehead Nebula aka #IC434 is a dark nebula near #Alnitak the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. The red hydrogen of the nebula is though to be excited by Sigma Orionis, the bright star in the upper right. The nebula doesn't rise until 2am at my location right now and I had to throw away many exposures due to clouds so this image is only 17 five-minute exposures captured in the wee hours this morning. #StillLearning

right near the Flame - there is the Horsehead Nebula. Sadly after imaging the red channel, fog came up and the session for tonight was over.
