IC 4592 Blue Horsehead

[ReaPerMan]

This is a target that i've wanted to take for a while. It is the Blue Horsehead IC4592 a faint Mag 4 reflection nebular located in Scorpius. It's also a bit noisy as it needed more time. I wasted time taking Ha (auto settings!!) and could have used this extra time in the LRGB. I had to discard the last few subs as it was getting low on the horizon and a bit too murky. 71mm Quad APO, Atik 11000M Camera 50Min Lum, 25 ea RGB for 125 mins total. Processed in Pixinsight and PS-CC.

Looks great Paul! :thumbsup:
Subtly processed to bring out lots of fine dust and the reflection neb.

Well done :)

[ReaPerMan]

Thank you Andy

I’m loving the 71mm and have a heap of targets planned.

That's very nice, Paul! I have a very tiny one to process from my 100mm lens at Astrofest but it won't be as cool as that :)

[Paul Haese]

I like the colour and the wispy cloud detail.

[ReaPerMan]

With the 100mm you should be able to get the longer tails running from the horses head... :)



Thank you Paul :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Very nice. Its a great target and its always a plus when the nebulas form a recognisable shape.

Greg.

[ReaPerMan]

Thank you Greg It is hard explaining to people when some of the Nebs barely resemble what they are called!

all the best

Paul :thumbsup:
