2023 Targets

February 2023 - Convict Lake Trip

One year after my first attempt at the Horse Head Nebula, I would get another chance at this beautiful object.  Using the the Orion Triplet and my newly astro-modified Canon 60D, I captured 2.5 hours of exposure.  In the past year I have migrated my astro-image processing from GIMP to PixInsight.  The power of PixInsight is amazing.
