Description

Not a great pic, but I have just about ten minutes per night to image IC434 from my balcony when it passes between two houses, so the total exposure is quite limited. Also, the stars are not exactly in focus. However imaging the Horsehead Nebula has always been a goal for me, and so being able to do so in a rather decent way given the context is a reason to rejoice.
