I took the shots for this photo a week ago while the moon was gone in the morning. I took something like 60 or more photos, but due to my mistakes (a given in astrophotography) I only got 15 good ones. And, that was enough. Next year I will see if I can improve on the photo. Honestly it turned out pretty good. I was excited because I wanted to post this for Halloween. I realized the Witch Head nebula really looked like a witch (see the nose and chin) about 2 months ago, but again waited for Halloween.

There is humor in deep space as well.

Happy Halloween!!!
