Hi folks;


Its not a good image, but here is the horsehead.

I had to push the processing a lot to tease it out it. Most of the

stars in the image are Mag 15 or higher.


I did clear the C8 corrector plate using a hair dryer after I took the

M37 image, but the mirror was white from frost and no easy way to

clear it. And then the HEQ5 mount basically locked up so I only got 3

images collected. I would have loved to capture at least another hours

worth of light, but weather and thne the bright moon kept me from

coming back to it.


TTYL..
