Witch Head
Hi All
Well,the last of the Witch Head for the season! although very low at the moment and because I love the faint and dusty region I decided to give her a go as she fly's away.
Object: IC 2118 (Witch Head)
Exposures: 10 minutes x 18 (guided)
Telescope: FSQ 106N
Camera: SXVF-M25c

Great composition Louie. Framing is tight. You've managed the colour tones well showing the interesting dusty reflection nebulosity. Well done.

Always amazes me just how much it does look like a witch's head. Great detail.

First thing I did before opening the image was to notice you captured 3 hours of data and said to myself, this will be good !
Well it's fantastic !!
Wonderful colour and detail rendition on such a difficult object.
Framing and image scale - perfect.
Well done Louie.

Hi Louie,
What a lovely image of a most difficult object, love the fine detail colour and structure. As Andrew has already remarked, 3 hrs of data makes for a truly stunning result.
Well done
Cheers

Lovely image. The colour and detail are really well done. I particularly like the little dragon or crocodile head with glowing eyes in the top of the image.
Well done,

Wow.
I agree with all the other comments....
My understanding is that the Witchhead is a dim and hard to capture target.
You have done well with this one.
Very nice detail.
Good work.
Geoffro.
