Horsehead Nebula (Bernard 33) in RGB

[nandopg]

B33 is the well known shape of a horse head. It is a dark nebula embedded to the IC434, a large emission region located in Orion constellation and distant 1500 LY from Earth.
On the image presented, one can see the abundance in hydrogen in the RED channel, obtained from a RGB mapping from a narrow band capture, some organic material on the dark nebula can be seen as the S2 mapped in the green channel. The O3 capture has been mapped as the blue channel .

I think that's lovely. A soft and natural looking image. What camera did you use?

OK. Thanks. Looking at the image, I thought it must have decent side chip.

I understand. As I used a TMB 92 f/5.5 as the image scope, I got this FOV. But the camera, unfortunately uses a 8300 chip.

Well its very nice and compared to others I have seen you have taken the time to apply effective framing for this frequently imaged object.  The 'curtain' is very dramatic.  Well done.
