IC434 or Horsehead Nebula it is a small dark nebula in the Constellation of Orion.The nebula is located just to the south of
Alnitak, the easternmost star of
Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger
Orion molecular cloud complex. It appears within the southern region of the dense dust cloud known as Lynds 1630, along the edge of the much larger, active star-forming
H II region called
IC 434.This nebula sits good distance from Earth - some 1,500 light-years away. It is the reason it became my first target when I learn the collimation of my telescope already.
This image was captured in south of Arizona, USA with a bortle scale of 1, average transparency, excellent seeing, clear skies, and in reservation in a long bone chilling winter nights.
It is my 3rd practice.
