  2. Horsehead nebula

    60mins of 10second exposures with Seestar S50, processed in Siril. The moon was nearly full. This thing is good fun.

  3. Had a great ride on the #Veluwe yesterday with the #horses from #TheMillRanch. It's always some getting used to, those western saddles. I normally ride on English ones, and I do prefer those. But it's always such great fun on their horses in those woods! And it's fun to change it up sometimes.

    I don't like to post myself here, but have at least a photo of Pumpkin's dear little face.

  4. 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

  5. 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

  7. La nébuleuse de la Tête de Cheval - Astronomy Picture of the Day - 25/11/2024

    Comptant parmi les nébuleuses les plus aisément reconnaissables, la nébuleuse de la Tête de cheval dans Orion, fait partie d'un grand nuage moléculaire sombre...

  8. #Horsehead #Nebula, otherwise known as Barnard 33, resides roughly 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Orion.

    The nebula formed from a collapsing interstellar cloud of material, and glows because it is illuminated by a nearby hot star.

  14. Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent #interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape.

    Fittingly named the #Horsehead #Nebula, it is some 1500 light-years distant, embedded in the vast #Orion cloud complex.

    The featured gorgeous color image combines both narrowband and broadband images recorded using several different telescopes.

  16. 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

  20. #SkyWatch #Astrophotography Another, wider view of the #Flame (left) and #Horsehead (right) nebulae in the constellation Orion. The nebulae surround the easternmost star, Alnitak, of Orion's Belt. Alnitak is 1300 light years away and is so bright that its light sometimes overwhelms much of the detail of the nebulae.

  21. #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

  22. #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

  23. The three stars in Orions belt are easy to see from pretty much all over the world.

    But if you were able to stare for hours, and add up all the light you'd see, a lot of other things would become visible too.

    Though it was cloudy in the west all night long, the north east cleared up nicely and my camera spent an un-blinking hour and a half staring up.
