My first Horsehead
Had a go the other morning at the Horsehead, the nebula which first got me interested in astrophotography after seeing some images on the web.
I was packing up after a session on the Helix and saw Orion just coming up over the neighbour's place. Set the camera going and went to bed. The first five images were okay, but it was fairly low on the horizon. Unfortuneately the next five images were smeared with cloud.
Lacks detail among other things, and I think I have to start using flats. Will try for some more images this morning at a lower ISO.
5 X 10 mins @ ISO 1600 with ICNR. Tak Sky 90 with flattener/reducer @ F4.6. Hutech modded Canon 450D.
Any thoughts? Thanks for looking.
