Description

I took this picture during my trip to the canary islands (La Palma) under a Bortle 2-3 sky. The Blue Horsehead Nebula  is a faint reflection nebula in the Scorpius constellation, lit by Nu Scorpii. In my opinion it is one of the most beautiful objekts in our hemisphere.

Hope you enjoy! Comments/suggestions are highly appreciated.
