Horsehead Nebula


Horsehead Nebula

Here is my attempt at the Horsehead Nebula. This data was originally taken a while back and I recently reprocessed the data with better results. I am excited to capture new data when this target is in the sky again!

    Great image! How did you get the ray effect on the star on the left, it looks really cool?!

    Thanks for the comment! The star on the left has that effect for a couple of reasons. The first reason is likely because I used an SCT telescope with hyper star and a cable router, that combination sometimes makes some interesting looking diffraction spikes. It could also be because I slightly overexposed my frames when using the luminance filter.
