After a short hiatus travelling and a Full Moon...I was hanging to capture this beauty because my FOV with the FLI 16803 and FSQ combo frames it perfectly and now is the perfect time of year to image it over an entire night.
This is
the other Horsehead Nebula in the sky but it gets imaged much less than its more famous cousin in Orion, partly because it is big (need at least a 4deg X 4deg FOV to fit it all in properly) and partly because it is faint.
This is a straight LRGB taken over two nights in mostly good conditions and no Moon, all image capture details are under the image at the link below
