Horsehead and Flame Nebulae from ASIGN Observatory II

Three hundred and twenty minutes of photon capture to produce this image of the Horse head and Flame nebulae.

At 1500 Light years away, the dark Horse head shape is made of thick cloud of dust, silhouetted against the bright emissions of the hydrogen gas behind it.


Sometimes the upload algorithms turn this image an over saturated magenta. It should be a light pink. If you are having this problem, the image is also on my website so you can see it as it should be here.
