Title: Quick and Dirty Horsey Head
Post by: Mike on Oct 05, 2005, 02:08:49
I was just about to pack up on Sunday after a session and noticed Orion's belt was just rising above the tree at the back of the garden. So fired off a quick 15 min of IC434 and B33 (B33 is the Horsehead which is a dark nebula and IC434 is the red curtain which is an emission nebula). Was pleased how it came out. Will do this properly in about a month when it will be in a nice position to be seen from my garden.
