Horsehead Nebula-LRGB

IC 434 / Horsehead nebula

NGC 2023

Horsehead Nebula in Orion. Started at Central Nevada Star Party in September and finished at home. HaRGB combine comprising 130 minutes of Ha and 160 minutes for each color for a total of a little over 10 hours total exposure. I had the dickens of a time controlling and remediating the flares and internal reflections caused by Alnitak off screen at the bottom left.

Thanks, didn't come out too bad considering the poor conditions I encountered with wind at the beginning of the capture sessions. Lots of subs got thrown out because of wind induced displacements.
