After reviewingthis article about offset, I do think I had my brightness/offset set too low when I captured this data. Doing some testing after the fact, I believe I may been clipping some data and likely needed an offset of 20 for this exposure length. Haven't had clear weather to ret...
The image scale of this system creates an up-close view of the Horsehead Nebula at high magnification. The Horsehead Nebula is isolated from the nearby Flame Nebula for an unforgettable view. The Horsehead Nebula captured in H-Alpha (Monochrome CCD) Adding H-Alpha to the image The addition of...
The amount of work that went into capturing this photograph is staggering. Almost 38 hours of exposure time was required over 7 different channels over the course of 20 nights. The final image is a combination of exposures captured in narrow band (Hydrogen Alpha, Oxygen Two and Sulfur Three...
In the image below, the Blue Horsehead Nebula is just barely cut off at the top right of the image. With the right focal length, you can even capture an incredible image of Rho Ophuichi and the Blue Horsehead in a single image. The Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex photographed a Rokinon 135mm...
The Horsehead nebula is also called Barnard 33 in emission nebula IC 434 and is part of a large, dark molecular cloud. It was first spotted in 1888 by astronomers at the Harvard College Observatory, who imaged the nebula using a telescope and photographic plates. To see more amazing night ...
