Photo description / processing

N-th approach to this object. In childhood, I read the "Children's Encyclopedia," and it was there that I first saw a black-and-white photograph of it. Probably, it was precisely because of that photo that I got into astrophotography. Next year, I'll try to reshoot it with better quality.

Similarly, as a child, I saw a photo of the Horsehead Nebula in a space encyclopedia. I was incredibly happy when I managed to capture it myself, even if just barely.
