A friend of mine Jon shot this Infra Red photo of the Horsehead Nebula.
Celestron 8" NexStar w/8mm Eyepiece Projection, Canon T3i converted, Finderscope guidance.
3x5min lights 3x5min darks and processed in Pixinsight and Lightroom.
It's so beautiful I just had to get permission from Jon to post this here at UHH.
You have to "Download" it to really see it.

Nice shot.
I need to play with a OIII filter that I have.
Not sure if it will pull the horse head or not.

That's the light pollution filter. I haven't put the OIII through the paces yet. Too much on my plate.

Jon thanks you. I am very Sorry I made a big mistake.
It was shot straight through the 8” scope with a 6.3 focal reducer (1280mm/f6.3).
