Description

Our latestest photo is the Horsehead Nebula IC434. The Horsehead Nebula is a part of a dark cloud in the constellation Orion, which stands out in front of the red glowing emission nebula IC 434 with a silhouette similar to a horse's head. The nebula is about 1500 light years away from Earth and appears a quarter the size of Earth's moon. This is our second try to capture IC434, the first one was taken 1 year ago and the pictures was quite dark, this time we tryed to get more details and dust.
