BLACK HOLE / [blak] [hohl]  /  . a concentration of mass so dense that nothing —not even light— can escape its gravitational pull.

The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) and the Horsehead Nebula (appears within the southern region of the dense dust cloud known as Lynds 1630, along the edge of the much larger, active star-forming H II region called IC 434). I'll have to revisit this at another time for a new image set, as clouds moved in to limit my integration time, and neighbors whose house this rises over had a back porch spotlight on, causing a lot of ghosting in the lower right corner. William Optics Gran Turismo 81 IV (480mm focal length, F/5.9) w/6AIII x0.8 flattener (total effective focal length with flattener is 384mm, F/4.7), Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro mount, Nikon D5100. 29 x 180 second lights (1 hour 27 minutes total integration), 10 darks, 10 bias.

நமது விண்மீன் மண்டலத்தின் இந்த பாலைவனக் காட்சியில் பால்வெளி Milky way sparkles in galaxy வானவேடிக்கை போல மின்னுகிறது.

Going to try and process what I captured of Bode's Galaxy, but it clouded up an hour into the set. Not really enough data to worry about until I can gather more. Completely lost out on the Christmas Tree Cluster and the Rosette Nebula. Will revisit on another night. Captured tonight's Moon and a test run for the Great Conjunction on the 21st.
