Amateur astronomer captures Horsehead and Flame Nebulae in Orion

Original: The Horsehead & Flame Nebula in Orion🌌 Over 3 hours of 30s subs captured on the wide-field Seestar S30 Pro (2x Drizzle).

An astrophotographer has produced a detailed wide-field image of the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae in Orion, using over three hours of 30-second exposures taken with a Seestar S30 Pro smart telescope and processed with 2x drizzle. The image traces Barnard 33, the star Alnitak and NGC 2024 glowing in hydrogen-alpha light.

Why now: Affordable smart telescopes are letting amateur astronomers produce striking deep-sky images, drawing attention from the astrophotography community.
