The Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118).

I have been wanting to shoot this for years but never had good weather or the right gear at the right time. I went for it this week and barely got it after being stopped by frost the first night, interrupted by clouds the second, and bothered by wind the third night. Tough time of year.

Just the beautiful constellation of winter sky at Hungary.
Easy to see even from the cities centre. But this time, i went to the Zselic Darkskypark, to take a photo of this constellation.
Photosop used only for contrast boosting.

I used Canon EOS6D with Canon 50/1.4 USM lens. This is one picture - ISO10000, f2:0, 8sec - plus starfilter
