This is the evoulution of my imaging of The Horsehead nebula. IC434 is located approximately 1,500 light years from earth in the constellation of Orion. It's Horsehead shape was first discovered on photographic plates in the late 1800s. Its illuminatiion is caused by the glowing background hydrogen gas against the dark horsehead shaped dust cloud. Again, the thumbnails open up different pictures. With a wider field of view I can now include NGC2024 the Flame Nebula.
