Description

With this image I tried to emphasize not only the very dominant horse head and the H-Alpha areas above it, but also the reflection nebula NGC 2023 a little below. I like the depth of this small nebula (despite the manageable exposure time) and the way the dark nebulae seem to float in front of the reflection parts as extensions of B33.

I hope you like it! :-)
