Flame Nebula (NGC2024) and Horsehead Nebula (IC434)

This subject needs slightly longer exposures, and/or more frames, but this time of year, it is too low by nightfall for prolonged work. I'll get back to it next year! As I used a modified SLR, the reflection nebulosity is underrepresented in this image.

Moose Creek, Ontario (yellow LP zone); March 8, 2010, 7:30-9:15 PM; T=+3 C, seeing excellent. 120mmED at f/7.5, with Hutech modified Canon 50D; Hutech LPS filter; autoguided. ISO800, 5x10 minutes.
