Description

The Horsehead Nebula, Barnard 33, is a dark cloud of dust and gas in front of the bright red emission nebula IC 434 in the constellation Orion. To the left of the Horsehead is the blue reflection nebula NGC 2023. To the left of both is the peach-colored Flame Nebula, which hides in its center a cluster of young stars.  I chose an unconventional framing.  Let me know what you think.
