      Description

      More treasures of Constellation Orion.
      IC 426 is a tiny object seen in almost all images of IC 434, the iconic Horse Head Nebula.  It shows up in most Plate Solves but is very small.
      I think it's fascinating to see it this close and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to process this fantastic data.
      Many thanks to Mike Selby for the fantastic data!

      thanks,
      CS's
