Horsehead

Hello,
Well, last night's efforts weren't in vain. I was very surprised to find that despite high level clouds to the West, East and South there remained a window of clear skies just around the Orion Constellation allowing me to take a few shots. I seem to be getting a bit less field curvature now with the 2" vis back and camera adaptor hooked up to the focal reducer.

Here it is, the Horsehead nebula, full frame and cropped.

Hope you like.

cheers
frank
