Horse Head Nebula 2023

I have spent quite a bit of time imaging the Horse Head lately making the most of Orion being up in the South this time of year. Using my Altair Astro Hypercam 294c fan-cooled Astro camera and recently tried out N.I.N.A for my imaging rather than APT which has been very good. 

NINA is very different from APT but has a few more features to it that I find very helpful such as the manual rotation function that calculates the exact amount I need to rotate my camera to get a perfect frame-up of the subject which is what I have done with this image. 

The gain was set at 900 offset was 100 with only ten Darks very happy with this one and enjoying using the Hypercam 294c.
