One of my first astrophotography images was the Horsehead nebula. I was only 4 months into the hobby and was really surprised that the final result was quite good. I couldn't stop staring it, it was not only beautiful, there was something else, some character, mystery, darkness...

I decided to make a cinematic video, using some adobe effects, to try to describe without words what I felt.https://youtu.be/-_1...6ngxQ7_BpAIzDaV

Wow, one of the best Horseheads I've ever seen. The Flame is also very cool. Pretty certain I would get diarrhea if I ever acquire that type of data with my own telescope, just from sheer excitement.
