Horsehead nebula. Relatively new to the DSO game. First post in this topic. Processed in PixInsight. Had to rely on post processing to hide some of my poor guiding and calibration. Leant towards a different colour palette for the aesthetics too. Looking forward to summer for more integration time with this target.

Great shot Dennis, I really like the palette. Well done.

An exceptional image by any standard Dennis. I doubt if you need to add more data..Remember the Rose and the Cone and the Witch are nearby and deserve your expert attention.
Top marks.

If there's any poor guiding and calibration, I certainly don't see it. Top work!

I did a little write up here (best viewed on a desktop): https://astro.mellican.com/knight-to-barnard-33/ that reveals my mistakes and the PixInsight workflow I use (to hide them). It will now serve as a reference guide for me instead of re-watching various tutes out there.
