Description

I'm happy to show you one of my latest targets for 2023. I always wanted to shoot it.

The Horsehead is a beautifull nebula in the Orion Constellation. 
There is a lot of hydrogen ionised by Sigma Orionis. The darkness of the Horsehead is caused by the presence of a dense cloud of gas and dust.

The weather was unpredictable and it was difficult to find clear nights.

I hope you like the picture and I wish you a happy new year 2024.

Clear Sky.
Alessio
