Flame and Horsehead nebula with Vixen R200SS
Here comes my first try capturing the Flame and Horsehead nebulae in Orion.
Too bad that I didn't frame the shot correctly, but I am still happy with my first try.
With precise polar alignement and correct framing this object will definatly be
a target for my next time out in the field!
