My First Ever Image of The HorseHead Nebula

Hi All,

Here is an H Alpha+RGB image I took of the horsehead Nebula Over 5 nights of clear skies.As most of you know doing this sort of imaging is pretty new to me. So here is my first time effort of imaging what Orion has to offer next I'll try get the flame Nebula and try some sort of mosaic.

Amazing Carl, Wonderful detail,one of the best I have seen for a while

Well, I for one am impressed Carl. Now that it looks like you've mastered the Horsehead, your next task is to get the widefield version with the Flame Nebula included!

Seanie.

Carl - that's excellent. Superb framing and you've caught many many fine details there. Like Ronan, one of the best Horseheads I've seen in a while.
