Crab and horsehead nebulae and some meteors

I took advantage of one of a very few clear nights this month to try to capture some meteors using a motion detection system, to image the Crab Nebula and to image the Horsehead Nebula.
For the nebulae I used an hydrogen alpha filter on the camera which combats light pollution and targets the emissions of the nebulae.

Here is a stack of 14 x 5 minute Crab Nebula exposures processed in Pixinsight and Lightroom.


Here is a stack of 12 x 5 minute Horsehead Nebula exposures processed in Pixinsight and Lightroom.


And here's a link to a compilation of nine meteors captured during the night of the 18th/19th December
