Date/Time of photo:

October 22nd & 29th 2008 at 1.30am

Equipment:

TMB 115 f7 with custom field flattener Paramount ME Starlight Xpress SXVF H36 ccd camera FLI-CFW-5 filter wheel with Astronomik Ha, OIII and SII filters 12x10 minutes unguided per filter

Description:

The image shows a narrowband image of one of the most frequently imaged nebula in the night sky, the Horsehead and Flame nebulae plus associated emission and reflection nebula. Due to light pollution narrowband filters were used and combined using a LRGB combine with Ha:Ha:SII:OIII being asigned to LRGB in that order, while this image stays close to the more traditional colours of this subject the narrowband filters have helped bring out more detail.
