Description

The Horsehead Nebula (B 33), is a dark cloud of gas and dust, silhouetted against the bright nebula IC 434. It is another childhood favorite. My RGB was taken with a last quarter Moon so it was not too good. I think I will reshoot the subframes if we get more clear nights. If we don't get more clear nights this winter then this image is the best I have ever made of the Horsehead area so I am really happy for now.
