IC 434, known as the Horsehead Nebula, is a dark nebula located in the Orion constellation. Its iconic horsehead silhouette is formed by dense interstellar dust that stands out against the reddish glow of ionized hydrogen illuminated by the nearby star Alnitak. #Astro #Astrophotography #IC434 - ThreadSky

Wonderful image. If you don't have a print of that hanging on your wall. You should. Very well done.

jmoneste.bsky.social•31 days ago

Thank you, this is totally new, but definitely will like it in the wall. Thanks for the positive comment.

That is an outstanding image 👍 I can’t believe I haven’t come across your account #Astrophotography

Love your description. Do you post stuff like this a lot?

jmoneste.bsky.social•31 days ago

Hi yes, when weather allows me to take good photos 🙏

samanthah0rizon.bsky.social•31 days ago

You took these? That's amazing! I'm definitely going to give you a follow. I love astronomy and astrophysics. I go to sleep to How the Universe Works most nights. Would love to see a good image of the Pleadies. I think they're nearby. ♥

jmoneste.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yes, I take them all. That was taken with RASA 8" and a ZWO ASI533MC pro camera. Universe is so fascinating and scary at the same time.

samanthah0rizon.bsky.social•31 days ago

What scares you more? Spaghettification or Pancakification? 😂

jmoneste.bsky.social•31 days ago

Though choice. Both? 😂

The Horsehead Nebula is also where Matriarch Benezia was conducting research on the resurrected Rachni Queen with illegal Geth support, but they won't tell you that over at NASA.

It's okay I took care of that YEARS ago. 👍

Oh, well done! This is really very good processing, with excellent stretching. Way beyond my current abilities. Lovely.

Love your color palette! Great image.

goflaherty.bsky.social•31 days ago

What an amazing image! I hope one day to be able to produce an image with even 5% of the quality and brilliance of this one!

jmoneste.bsky.social•31 days ago

Practice and patience 😀
The more you practice processing, the better, also make sure to add as many hours to an object as possible for better details.

dazza1639.bsky.social•31 days ago

It really is amazing 👍
