Horsehead & Flame Nebulae


This image was shot the night of December 5th. I was able to capture 3 hours and 20 min of hydrogen alpha data before clouds rolled in. As always, more data is desired. This is my first long exposure image with my new mount, my newly acquired Losmandy G-11. Image was taken through a Takahashi sky 90 with focal reducer, with an SBIG ST-2000 XMI, with CFW8, and astrodon 6nm Ha filter, guided with remote guide head. Sub exposures were 10 minutes in duration for a total exposure of 3 hours and 20 minutes. Images registered and stacked in CCDSoft and further processed in Photoshop.
