This image needs a WHOLE LOT more exposure time, but I decided to post now because my FOV is not what I want. I need to re shoot a little wider and much, much longer for this very faint object.

IC2118 Witch Head Nebula; Eridanus
AP 155EDF f/7
STL-11000M
LRGB 70:50:50:70 minutes

I'll repost after I get this object the way that I want. Also, notice the space junk that streamed through her mouth -- multiple debris trails, bummer.

Cheers,
Tom

Thats a great image Tom. I don't think I've seen that much detail in this object before and the face really stands out. Nice work.

Tom, this is a great shot. I've never seen the witch look so much like a witch before! The color balance is really lovely, and almost spooky. Nicely done.
