The Horsehead (!) imaged with an ETX 70!

Folks

I am rather pleased to have been able to finally (!) capture the Horsehead with an ETX 70..been trying for years

imaged last night
stack of 25 thirty second images
ETX in polar alignment on a home made wedge
Processed in photoshop
I had to shot with the camera binned 2 x 2 so its only a B and W image unfortunately and image scale is small

But I'm just chuffed to actually capture this most elusive object with my little ETX 70...a scope that costs less than a H beta filter

comments and suggestions welcome

PS Did I mention I am pleased ?
