Flame & Horsehead nebulae with ζ Alnitak
Great Orion Nebula

I’m learning the mosaic feature in Seestar S50. It captures a larger area of the sky, but requires a significant amount of time (more than I had).

The Crescent Nebula (NGC6888) in SHO. Just like the Horsehead from yesterday I used my LeXtreme and LSynergy filters on 2 separate nights. If you look close enough you can also see the Soap Bubble nebula. #astrophotography #photography

The Horsehead Nebula. This is the first time I’ve tried doing SHO with a OSC using a combination of my Optolong LeXtreme and LSynergy. Due to clouds I spent 2 separate nights imaging. I was able to use 55 × 300s frames from the LeXtreme but only 29 with the Synergy. #astrophotography #photography

The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) and NGC 2023 - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/rhRRAz
In the Shadow of the Horsehead - Deep 26 Hour Version Link to full resolution image (3.8MB): goo.gl/mXsTKe Link to large 'X3' size image: goo.gl/DnMTZA Link to large 'X3' size greyscale version: goo.gl/fXA2fZ I recently added a Ha filter to my collection and promptly put it to the test by soaking up a decent amount of data on the Horsehead nebula. I wanted to improve on my initial attempt on this target from 2014. One of the issues was that I'd like to show the delicate 'curtain' structure of IC 434, the bright glowing hydrogen emission that the Horsehead is silhouetted against. This also prompted me to add more data to the LRGB channels as well in order to bring out the faint dust details better, so all together with last year's data I ended up with over 26 hours of data which I completely reprocessed and assembled into this updated version. I'm pleased that the result has higher resolution and more depth than last years' effort. The colours are also richer and more refined and in particular the Ha curtains now stand out above and around the Horsehead. About the image: The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) is without doubt one of the most recognized and fascinating objects in the sky. This iconic feature is formed by the sharp outline of a dark dust cloud, with a remarkable likeness to a horse's head, silhouetted against a brightly glowing patch of ionized Hydrogen (IC434) that is being energized by the hard ultraviolet radiation from nearby Sigma Orionis, a...

Had to come back from Glasgow the long way today, which means driving past the giant horsehead sculptures of the Kelpies. At night, from a moving vehicle, they look absolute fucking demonic.

NASA Astronomy Hourly Picture - 2014-03-26: M78 and Reflecting Dust Clouds
#Astronomy #NASA #Space
An eerie blue glow and ominous columns of dark dust highlight M78 and other bright reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion. The dark filamentary dust not only absorbs light, but also reflects the light of several bright blue stars that formed recently in the nebula. Of the two reflection nebulas pictured above, the more famous nebula is M78, in the image center, while NGC 2071 can be seen to its lower left. The same type of scattering that colors the daytime sky further enhances the blue color. M78 is about five light-years across and visible through a small telescope. M78 appears above only as it was 1600 years ago, however, because that is how long it takes light to go from there to here. M78 belongs to the larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex that contains the Great Nebula in Orion and the Horsehead Nebula. Follow APOD on: Facebook, Google Plus, or Twitter

🔭This is classic: the Horse Head and Flame. An amazing object, bright and colorful. IC434 was discovered on a photographic image by Williamina Fleming and reported by E. C. Pickering in 1890.

In this beautiful ESO image the Flame Nebula is the large feature on the left. The smaller feature on the right is the reflection nebula NGC 2023. To the top right of NGC 2023, the iconic Horsehead Nebula seems to emerge heroically from the “flames”.

For my Birthday last October I got myself a 50mm lens. One of my first images' with it was this one of the Great Orion Nebula, the Flame Nebula, and Horsehead Nebula (barely). 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour
The Belt of Orion above centre. The orangey red glow of the Flame nebula to the left of the belt with the horsehead nebula below. The Orion Nebula above middle of the bottom. Many star dots.
