Witches Head Nebula IC2118 - Better viewed on Black.

Witches Head Nebula IC2118 - Better viewed on Black.
This was taken over two nights and with the Skywatcher scope ED80 and an Auto focuser. Tracked guided 10min shots 28 shots in total. one night in moon light one night no moonlight but all taken in the city lights. this is just above Orion nebula in the southern hemisphere so it would be below in the northern hemisphere.
Orion(M42) & Running Man(NGC1977) - well worth a look full screen on black

Added data gave me some thing I tried to kill but in the end best to leave the Bight light of Rigel to shine on the Witch as a spot light. I have only cropped out the edges that show the stacking. enjoy the Witch.
