Description

I decided this afternoon that if it was clear tonight I would try and image IC 434. I've

never imaged this object with my AT72ED and I wanted to try imaging it with the AT72ED.

The only problem and when I say that it really wasn't a problem but I could not begin

imaging until 1:00 am or later because Orion would not be high enough in the sky

before that time. I had a nice clear sky and by 1:00 am the Moon had moved from almost

directly overhead to very low and almost out of sight in the Western sky. Please enjoy

my latest image of IC 434 the Horse Head Nebula.
