Horsehead Nebula

1/3/2020br/Horsehead nebula is about 1,375lys from Earth. Located just south of the Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's belt. The horse's head consists of thick concentrations of dust against ionised hydrogen gas(Ha). It's believed that the streaking of the hydrogen gas is due to magnetic fields channeling the gasses.br/ Camera: ZWOasi1600 Pro mono.br/ Mount: EQ6-r Probr/ OT: Explore Scientific 127 ED APObr/ Filter: Astronomik 12nm Habr/ Brights: 31 x 180sbr/ Darks: 30 x 180sbr/ Flats: 20 x .1475sbr/ Bias: 30 x .00032sbr/ Calibrated and stacked in Pixinsight
