Capturing the Witch Head Nebula has been quite a journey. I’ve been shooting it for the past 2 months. I think I’ve actually trashed more exposures than I’ve saved but I still ended up with 200+ exposures at 5 minutes each.

Starry sky and a bluish nebulosity that looks like the profile of a witch face.

Stéphane Picard in Quispamsis, #Canada, shared this image on Sunday and wrote: "The hauntingly beautiful #WitchHead #nebula near Orion constellation. One of my favorite #winter targets." Thank you!

This is my capture of the Witch Head Nebula #IC2118 taken last winter. This year hasn’t been great for many of us with constant clouds. Icy conditions are also making it dangerous to carry my expensive equipment in/outside on those rare clear nights.

#astro #witchhead This has been a labour of love and frustration. Every time I’ve tried for the Witchhead, something has always gone wrong or weather has been bad. Not this time 🥰

From last nights session, IC 2118 Witch Head Nebula. This was taken with my Redcat 51. It's made up of a stack of 39 x 300s exposures. I took a total of 60 but there were a LOT of bad frames. Too many things in the sky unfortunately. #astrophotography #ic2118 #witchhead #nebula #photography
