Here is my first try at the Horsehead Nebula. 10 shots, each 10 minutes long with a SXV-H9 mounted on a AP-130F/6 and a Schuller H-Alpha filter. G11/Gemini autoguided with an ST-4 mounted on a TV-85.

I played with my image in Photoshop and added false color to it. It looks pretty convinsing except for the little nebula on the bottom that is supposed to be blue.
