Description

While everyone (including me) was shooting the comet in OK Saturday, I had my scope pointed in almost the exact opposite side of the sky, shooting IC 4592: The Blue Horsehead nebula. This is a reflection nebula illuminated by the brightest stars in the image. these targets can be so faint, you can only get it under dark skies.
