Barnard 33, IC434, The Horse head nebula and NGC2024 The Flame nebula
This seems to be the year of returning to the crime scene for me as I have imaged several of the targets earlier, and this one too.(Twice actually.😱)
I collected the photons for this image over three nights in February 2023 as the constellation Orion is heading to the west for summer holidays, away from the astro paparazzis stalking the hero all winter, trying to get a glimpse of his (more or less) private parts.
The Horsehead nebula was discovered by Wilhelmina Fleming in 1888 and named by Edward Emerson.
Barnard who described, it as "Dark mass, diam. 4′, on nebulous strip extending south from
ζ Orionis", (Wikipedia) and catalogued the nebula as B33.
The nebula is a part oft the much larger region LDN1630. (LDN: Lynds catalogue of Dark Nebula, published in 1962)
IC434, Emission nebula, star forming region
IC432, Reflection nebula
IC431, Reflection nebula
IC435, Reflection nebula
NGC2023, emission and reflection nebula discovered by William Herschel in 1785
NG2024, SH2-277 The Flame nebula, emission nebula , discovered by William Herschel in 1786

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
