Barnard 33 - Horsehead Nebula

Post by ionia23 »

This is one of those objects that I think is a target/goal for anyone getting into astrophotography. I've wanted to capture this object since I first started well back into the early 2000's and now, with what I've learned and what I have, I did it. I'm quite pleased with how this came out.

Of course, a rather bright satellite just had to fly through the field of view in one of the shots, yet somehow, I don't mind. They're right. Starshoot is Photoshop for Astrophotographers.
