IC4592 the Blue Horsehead Nebula in Scorpius

[gvanhau]

Hello I took this image on 4 Apr 2014 @ Cajon del Maipo (Near Santiago, Chile).
Processing was somewhat complicated due to the large amount of stars in the field.

Telescope: WO98 FLT + Type IV Flattener
Mount: Cg5
Camera: 5D MKII 36 x 5Min ISO 1600
APT + PHD for Capture
PixInsight for Processing

Comments welcome.
