The Horsehead Nebula IC434, and Flame Nebula NGC2024. 2x120sec avi, aligned and stacked in K3CCDTools. Dynamic background extraction done in PixInsight LE 1.0, and finishing touches done in Photoshop. This was my very fist serious attempt at capturing the Horsehead nebula region. The clouds rolled in soon after the start of the capture so I was only able to get two exposures. Telescope: - Camera: Logitech QC Pro 3000 with long exposure modification, and raw mode modification. 55mm 1:1.8 camera lens attached for wide field of view. Atop Orion EQ1 motorized mount. Filtration: Baader Planetarium UV/IR cut filter. · Date/Time 2007:03:20 19:50:08 · Resolution 640 x 480
