Description

The Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, is a small dark nebula silhouetted against the glow of the emission nebula IC 434. Only by chance does the dark nebula resemble the head of a horse - but its coincidental appearance has led to its becoming one of the most photographed objects in the sky.This is a HaSiiRGB image.Imaged from my backyard.ASIAIR, AZEQ6 , Sharpstar SCA260 , ASI2600MM, Antlia HaSiiRGB filters. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop CC Bortle  6
