This is the Monkey Head Nebula! It is located 6,400 light years away! I always enjoy imagining it and I hope you like it too! #astronomy @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

A deep-sky astrophotography image showing the Horsehead Nebula silhouetted against a glowing red emission cloud in Orion. On the left, the bright star Alnitak creates a strong flare and scattered light, contrasting with the delicate dark shape of the nebula and surrounding wisps of gas. The scene is detailed and colorful, captured with an A7S and a Newton 130/900 telescope.
✨The Horsehead and Flame nebulae.
The difficulty of this capture was keeping Alnitak, one of the brightest stars in Orion’s belt, under control.
📷Setup : Sony A7S, Newton 130/900.
