I took this Horsehead shot the same night I shot the M45 shot. I only took 5 shots and didn't have time to get any color shots of it since I still had to drive back home. I just moved the camera from the FS-60C to my main imaging scope and used the FS-60C to guide through. The shot was taken through my AP-130F/6 with a Meade 6.3 focal reducer and an SXV-H9 camera and my Schuller H-Ralpha filter. 5 shots each 10 minutes long.

I copied and saved it! (For personal use only!!! smile

It may end up as the computer desk top, which rotate and change frequently.
Good work.

Beautfilly captured, wonderfully processed. You really handled that star very well.
Regards,

PS: Your M45 was terrific too--makes for a nice quick subject it seems.
