The Horsehead (B33) and Flame (February 2020 update)

[JohnP_1]

My prime target last night was waiting for me around 8pm with a twinkle in it's eye. The stallion tried to dart away behind the house, but, not before yielding an additional 50 minutes of data (10 x 300s). I combined it with the best of the data I've collected over the years. I tried to improve the focus and tightness of the stars and Flame nebula in particular.

A very nice image John!

Looks like the additional data paid off nicely!

Beautiful, John.

I'm using your image as a benchmark for my own Stakker-Lite experiments. If I can get in the same ballpark as the image you posted of the Stallion-Knight takes Rook, I'll be a super happy camper. But I'm going to need some super-duper skies to even get to first base.

Sorry about mixing metaphors/imagery, but apropos in this case!

Thanks for all of the kind words.

Hello John. Beautiful Horsehead and Flame nebulae with the new data. I like the red that you captured on the horse's mane. Thanks for sharing this with us on here John, and congratulations on winning the TSS APOD Award.

Congratulation on your TSS Photo of the Day award John - Well deserved. This is one of your best images with beautiful colors.

Would you mind explaining to me how you insert your image from Flickr into a post so that when anyone clicks on the image they are taken to the image in Flickr?

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks Steve!

When I compose the HTML post, I first upload the image in two places, (1) a gallery on this forum and (2) Flickr. I then "share" the photo via Flickr selecting an image height that would usually look decent in a frame on a laptop or desktop (usually less than 800 pixels). Flickr adjusts the url based on your customization for the "shared" profile dimensions. In the post HTML, I add the Flickr url and the image url from the Forum gallery.

I include both since some people view the forum behind a firewall that prohibits viewing images through a shared service such as Flickr.

Thanks for the PM explaining it John. I'll be using this new approach from now on.
