Horsehead Nebula was created by Gary Clarke
Managed to get a few frames last night with my newly modified 350D and a Baader H-Alpha Filter. The night was incredibly dew laden with frequent stops to use the wife's hairdryer.

Anyway here's the image;

Gary,
Great image! Loads of detail there. Horsehead is very prominent!

Hi Gary,
Thats one tough object to get, its very faint, I think you'd need a whole nights images to get it fully. You're right about the dew, all the rain over the past weeks created alot of mist/fog !
