| | | Horsehead Nebula
Here's my recent image of the Horsehead nebula near the lefthand star in Orion's Belt [zeta Orionis top centre]. The Horsehead is a dark gas cloud [official name Barnard 33 - B33] seen is silhouette against a slightly brighter gaseous nebula.
The HH is inordinately faint and difficult to see visually even with the largest telescopes - even living in a Arizona desert with huge 20"+ aperture scope doesn't guarentee a view. I've never seen it and nowerdays don't bother to try due to severe light pollution 
But my trusty little 'scope [70mm f/3.5 lens] + cam does the business ok  even from London. Hope it's of interest

Another cracking shot nytecam. How do you know when and where to find things like this and when the planets are on view etc? |
