Newmarket Horse

[peonic]

Figured it's only right that living here in Newmarket (where we even have pedestrian crossings with special buttons mounted high for jockeys to push) that I spend some time on The Horsehead.

This is about 5½ hours of exposure in Ha and Sii, using an Askar 130PHQ, ZWO 533MM Pro and ZWO 7nm narrowband filters.

I think it could use some more Ha, and maybe another stab at the processing, but I'm really happy with the composition here. 

If I ever release an album of eclectic dance music, I'll use this as the cover!

That is Superb!

On a side note, do you get racing tips?

That old nag is certainly holding it's own in this image! Lovely detail and nicely processed.

Sorry - don't know the first thing about racing - other than that the first string are usually off to the gallops around the same time I come down to haul my frozen scopes in of a morning!

I expected that to say 'mounted low for jockeys to push'... 😂

The first time I went to Tesco here, I thought I'd stumbled in to Hobbiton by mistake!
