Knight to Barnard-33

[meltaxa (Dennis)]

Horsehead nebula. Relatively new to the DSO game. First post in this topic. Processed in PixInsight. Had to rely on post processing to hide some of my poor guiding and calibration. Leant towards a different colour palette for the aesthetics too. Looking forward to summer for more integration time with this target.

SkyWatcher 100ED Pro; HEQ5 Pro; ZWO ASI533MC; L-Extreme; 50 x 120s;

Great shot Dennis, I really like the palette. Well done.

An exceptional image by any standard Dennis. I doubt if you need to add more data..Remember the Rose and the Cone and the Witch are nearby and deserve your expert attention.
Top marks.

If there's any poor guiding and calibration, I certainly don't see it. Top work!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I appreciated the encouragement.

I'll check out those targets Alex. They look interesting!

[AstroViking (Steve)]

Very nicely done!

I did a little write up here (best viewed on a desktop): https://astro.mellican.com/knight-to-barnard-33/ that reveals my mistakes and the PixInsight workflow I use (to hide them). It will now serve as a reference guide for me instead of re-watching various tutes out there.
