Description

IC 434, the "HorseHead" Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Orion and is 3.5 light years away.  I setup my TS Optics 90mm CF APO f6 refractor with a Optolong L-Xtreme filter and shot this in a full moon! The filter did a great job cutting the moon light and I was able to get this beautiful narrowband image.
