A couple of weeks ago I shot IC434 - the Flame Nebula along with Barnard 33 - the Horsehead Nebula.

I added another 2.5 hours to that shot overnight, and the extra detail is amazing, even though the restacking rejected a lot of frames from both. In the end I got an extra hour of exposure.

The image is centred on Alnitak - one end of Orion's Belt. Off in the corner we have the middle of the belt, Alnilam.

To the right of Alnitak is NGC2024, and above and to the left is IC434 - The Flame Nebula, with the Horsehead Nebula on the right hand edge. In between the two nebulae, though, is a third one - NGC2023.

Also scattered around are three other tiny and/or faint nebulae - IC431, IC432 (both below NGC2024) and IC435 (to the right of NGC2023).

Lastly, in the top left quadrant we have Sigma Orionis.

So we have a lot going on, and it makes for a pretty composition (in my opinion).

Shot on a Dwarf3, 3hr 58 minutes, 60s@80, OIII/Ha filter. Post processed in Stellar Studio and Snapseed.

"End of the Belt"
This is a fun shot, centred on Alnitak - one end of Orion's Belt. Off in the corner we have the middle of the belt, Alnilam.

To the right of Alnitak is NGC2024, and above and to the left is IC434 - The Flame Nebula, with the Horsehead Nebula on the right hand edge. In between the two nebulae, though, is a third one - NGC2023.

Also scattered around are three other tiny and/or faint nebulae - IC431, IC432 (both below NGC2024) and IC435 (to the right of NGC2023).

Lastly, in the top left quadrant we have Sigma Orionis.

So we have a lot going on, and it makes for a pretty composition (in my opinion).

Shot on a Dwarf3, 2hr 51 minutes, 60s@80, OIII/Ha filter. Post processed in Stellar Studio and Snapseed.

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

Es ist zwar noch in Bearbeitung (noch viel zu wenig Belichtungszeit), aber nachdem derzeit so vieles so schwierig zu verarbeiten ist, bekommt ihr es doch zu sehen.

Es ist schon ein bisschen spät für dieses Ziel, aber der Pferdekopfnebel gehört zu meinen Lieblingsobjekten und ich wollte es gern noch versuchen.
