Haze mocked my attempts to record faint hydrogen emissions.

I am stunned and disappointed you couldn't replicate the image from the ESO folks. Seriously. ;-)
Nice capture!
Yes, well, I'd be stunned if it looked anything like theirs! My image actually is a little disappointing. This horsehead was taken on a night full of mist. I set up and started the exposures, then went inside for a bit. When I came back out, I could see the pool, the fence---even count the leaves on the boxwood. It was far to light outside. Haze had settled into the still cloudless sky. I kept shooting anyway, hoping the L filter would take some of it away. Probably it did, but I'd need a full cloud filter to counteract all of that. Hence the limit to my stretching. It's still better than the one I took in January of '08, though not by much.
... And also thanks. Phil.
