NGC 1909 / IC 2111 (Witch Head Nebula)
From time to time I obtain data sets from remote observatories. One of my favorite providers is the Insight Observatory with telescopes in e.g. Chile, Namibia, New Mexico etc. One of the data sets I received, was data from the reflection nebula NGC 1909, located in the constellation Eridanus.
The images were taken with the following equipment:

| Focal length [mm] | 1525 |
| Focal ratio | 3.75 |

| Camera | FLI Proline 16803 |
| Filter | L:R:G:B |
| Exposure time [min] | 110:60:60:60 |

Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
