Description

Horsehead nebula in HaRGB. This subject needs no introduction, as IC434 is probably one of the most photographed subjects in astrophotography. 

Star halo near Alnitak is particularly awful in B and G channels. The halo is due to Alnitak is a super bright star. But quality of the LRGB filter might play a factor here.
