Blue Horseyhead Nebula - IC 4592

[NZUSA]

Shot this with Rokinon 135mm @ F2.8 attached to an ZWO 533MC pro. All mounted atop an Ioptron SGP with guiding too. 5h 42m of 3 min subs. All taken from my backyard in Dunedin in bortle 4/5 skies. Processed in PixInsight and polished a little using RawTherapee. I reckon the Rokinon lens produces such impressive, sharp images!

Very nice. The Blue Horsehead Nebula is one of my all time favourite reflection nebulas, and you've done it justice! I cannot wait till we get good enough weather here to give this another go this year.

Wow! Thats soooo nice!
I’ve always wanted to capture this but I’m missing the skies and skills!!

Beautiful image indeed! When I upgrade my main imaging camera, I'll be using my IMX294 camera on the back of a 135~180mm camera lens to get a wider view... I'm really looking forward to that!!

Cheers for that guys, this turned out much better than an image I took of it a few years ago with more basic equipment!

I like it, maybe a little dark on the background but overall a nicely crafted image.
