Horse Head Nebula, Feb’21

On the third evening i focused on the Andromeda Galaxy and I used PixInsight the 1st time in postprocessing. Part 2/2

The Horsehead Nebula

I took some shots of the nebua that evening. After my first viewings of the material i sorted it out already.

I had 25 Photos with different exposure time. All between 30s and 300s.

As the Orion Region comes closer to the horizon by end of march, i decided not to take any other photos of Barnard 33 until next season. Therefor i decided to process the few material with PixInsight. With a look at the exposure time, i really like the result and cant wait to go for the nebula again next season.

Lessons Learned

Well, the problems to solve in future became even more:

  • Mount and telescope alignment – it gets better and better
  • Star alignment – this starts driving me crazy
  • still no guiding
  • too short exposure time
  • post processing
  • Horsehead Nebula and unmodded EOS is not the best combination

There is a lot to learn and to master, and even more things not listed here yet …
