Horse Head Nebula : B33

We each have our reasons why we are here and why to "enjoy" this difficult way of taking photos. As a kid my father had the "time life" book on space one of the illustrations was the Horse head, I was always taken as a kid there was a Horse out in space. I all ways knew where it was as Orion on the norther side of the equator was very easy to spot much like here on the southern side.

The traditional view with a one shot colour camera RGB red background. This shot is SII as Red Ha as Green O3 as blue but RGB stars. As the Ha is the dominant element its usually very green but I have only kept a hint of Green.

Glad to see this in real life I have never see the Horses beard before. Look closely you can see the shadow cast by the Nebula Back lit from behind. I have to work on getting the focuser set up and filter wheel balanced to be able to rotate the whole train to get the better view. The Filter wheel is very heavy so if you move out from inline the whole rig is thrown out of balance very badly. Thinking as Only MacGyver can.
