Description

¡Experimental Photo!
With absolutely all the factors stacked against me, a 93% full Moon and a 7.5 bortle sky, I tried to capture the Horsehead nebula and see if I could get it on camera. It was all a success!!. I didn't even expect to see it and I managed to rescue more than I imagined. Without a doubt I am not satisfied with the aesthetic side of the photo, because of the noise and the little blur that I had, but now that I know that I can photograph it from here, I will wait for the new Moon to take many more hours of exposure and achieve a good photograph.
