1 LBN954 Horsehead
Target:NGC 2023 LBN954 Horsehead Nebula emission and reflection nebule in the constellation of Orion at 1300 light years distance.
Location:Multiple nights Jan 2021 St Helens UK B8 passing clouds, moon 59% to 76%.
Aquisition:34x 180s Ha, 21x 180s (OIII), 17x 180s (SII), total integration 216 min.
Equipment:Capture: Skywatcher Esprit 100ED, HEQ5, ZWO ASI160MM Pro, EFWmini with Baader NB Filters.
Guiding: Skywatcher 9x50 Finder, ASI1200MM.
Software:Aquisition: NINA, PHD2.
Processing: DeepSkyStacker, Siril, Starnet++, Photoshop.
Memories:A few setbacks on this target. Obstructed view south so 4 shorter imaging sessions one of which, with the best data, was deleted off imaging pc by mistake before being transferred to processing pc. Clouds resulted in more lost frames and the moon affected the contrast on the (OIII). During processing, Photoshop crashed loosing 3 hours of work which had to be repeated. Still happy with the end result though.
