IC434 - The Horsehead Nebula

[AbsolutelyN]

Quick horsehead with Baader 3.5nm filter which I'm really enjoying using. This is 4 hours 52 mins with 250PDS and 1600MM. High res on astrobin.

It's cheating if you crop out Alnitak! 😅

It is very nice though 👍

🙂 Thanks, it felt like cheating simply by managing to avoid glare and internal reflections from it.

Beautiful Tristan, I'm looking forward to spending some time on Orion this year if the weather ever improves.

Any plan for the HH - RGB?

Thanks Adam. Yes Orion is on my list this year as most of it was obscured by a tree that I've had trimmed back especially 🙂
Would love to get some RGB but the weather is pretty hopeless so far this winter. I'm finding myself drawn to one off quicker targets as its so unpredictable. For me longer targets needs a couple of clear nights close together as when you are setting the rig up each night as camera easily gets moved etc.
