Here is one of the Horsehead Nebula,not real found of it,
but I though I would post it anyway.
Don't know if the lab messed up or the seeing that night wasn't
that great about a 7. Lots of ice crystal in the air.
This is a 40 minute exposure on Fuji Provia 400 RHP111.
Takahash TSA-102 scope,Pentax 6X7 camera.
Comments welcome

Hi August,

As was pointed out, it really is a bit too magenta. Not sure if that is a result of the processing or the scanning.

I took the liberty of playing around with it in Photoshop. The results are below. Mostly it came out quite well, except for the bright stars. Could not get them to be the correct blue.

Cheers,

Maurice
