It's been awhile since I've shared a pix here. This is my rendition of the Horsehead Nebula in Bicolour (Hα & Oiii) taken in mid Dec. I wanted to capture in landscape to get the wall as much as possible but the flare from Alnitak is a bummer. I should probably should have framed it better.

 

Image capture details are as follows :-

 

Takahashi µ250CRS @ native 2500mm F10

Vixen AXD Mount

ASI6200MM/EFW/ZWO filters

-10C 100 Gain 50 Offset

ASI174mm mini guide cam on ZWO OAG M68

63x 5 min Hα over 2 nights

48x 5 min Oiii over 2 night

(Total 9.25hrs)

30x flats of each filter

30x flat dark matching for each filter flat

50x darks

 

Acquisition managed by N.I.N.A.

It looks like Alnitak is furiously spitting blue/orange flames on the horse. It's kind of nice.

 

I love the color scheme you did.
