Witch Head Nebula

Hi
This is my first successful image using a ccd camera apart from testing.
…….problems and bad weather etc. getting in the way!!!

Witch Head Nebula IC 2118 in Eridanus taken at Wiruna, last new moon
You can see the glow from the blue super giant star Rigel in Orion just out of frame to the right, there are a few small galaxies and lots of dust and gas in the background.

18 x 10 min. frames with Starlight Xpress m25 one shot colour ccd
fsq + reducer and em200 mount
Processed with dss and cs5

thanks Louie and Ross for your support
