The Horsehead Nebula

Posted on by femmaashraf

My next target object on the robotic telescope is the Horsehead Nebula.

Here is the observing plan:

I’ve noise reduced it, however with my lack of success in processing I have left it at that.

One of the Baker Street Irregulars, Jaspal Chadha (check out his website, his images are great) had a go at noise reducing and some processing also. Here’s his version.

I am a Software Engineer with an academic background in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. I like to build and programme all sorts of things such as Robots, Apps for smart phones, Web sites, back end systems etc. I am creative and also like to work on UCD and UX based projects. So yes, I am a lefty geek who likes to campaign for various charities (human and animal rights). If you haven't guessed by now I am also a long term vegetarian. In my spare time I spend a lot of time in the gym (some may say I am obsessed) as well as on the odd occasions going to circus skills.
