Hello everyone.
Since my last astrophotography post got some good feedback, I figured I'd post a few more here.
This is an image of the Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula. This was shot on a not very nice night, a couple days after Christmas. There was quite a few clouds out that night, so I had to shoot between the clouds to get anything done. I HAD to try out my new Guiding camera and scope I got for Christmas though, so it was worth it.
I took a total of 120 minutes of pictures (30 subs at 240 seconds each). I could have had a nicer final photo with more detail, but the clouds weren't cooperating. As a note, many astrophotographers don't even start editing their image until they have 4-5 hours (at least) of photos to stack.
I am happy with what I got though, especially considering the clouds, the light pollution I shoot through (in my backyard in Bortle 7 skies), and with an unmodified DSLR and not a astro camera.
Here it is!
