A later entry shot saturday night. M78. Been trying all sorts of ways to image this - tricky one. Eventually got a result with my 150 newt, and uv/ir filter on asi533, then combining a bit of Ha from a wider shot from my 80ED and asi1600.

Processed in APP, Siril and Affinity Photo (with starXterminator, and a bit of Topaz denoise.

And another late entry!

I thought to myself "what does this thread need?" That's right, more Horsehead nebula. Haven't seen a starless* version, so here's my attempt, made up of 7 hours of Ha captured over a couple nights in early-mid Jan

*well, almost starless - the GHS script in PI did such a good job of controlling Alnitak, it seemed wrong to leave it out!

Thanks for the reply, Peter. I had a feeling all was not well and I think she was a bit older than me. Sad times.
