Horsehead Nebula (HaRGB)
In this HaRGB composite image, the Horsehead Nebula is depicted through a lens that combines data from Hydrogen Alpha, Red, Green, and Blue channels. This scientific rendering unveils essential details of the nebula's structure and composition. The hydrogen alpha emissions, represented in red, provide insight into the regions of ionized hydrogen gas, often associated with areas of intense star formation. Meanwhile, the RGB channels offer a glimpse into the distribution of dust and gas, showcasing the interplay of light and matter in our galactic neighborhood. The Horsehead Nebula, a dark nebula silhouetted against a background of glowing hydrogen, serves as a natural laboratory for studying the intricacies of cosmic evolution and the processes shaping stellar birth and development within our Milky Way.
Orion Constellation & Barnard loop
Image Description and Details :
Here is my post on this Orion photo and the Barnard loop, I spent the only clear night without a moon to try the samyang 135mm f2, because I wanted to have fun doing astrophotography. I absolutely wanted to shoot the constellation of Orion and the loop of Barnard. It was complicated to image it with a more than hazardous seeing but on 210 shots of 120 seconds I kept only 100 raw. After processing tests, I was happy with my final treatment.

b33 - HORSEHEAD NEBULA
Image Description and Details :
This image of the horsehead shot in collaboration with a dear friend of mine astrophile. It is about a 3-hour shoot through H-alfa filter and luminance taken by myself through an Apo 152/1200 refractor with the addition of color made by my friend with the T32 telescope from Australia with 1 hour of integration.
