Horsehead Nebula in Orion (Robotic. GMO, Colorado)
25 x subexposures (Hydrogen alpha filter) taken robotically on Scope 1 (Takahashi FSQ 130 with QHY600) at Grand Mesa Observatory, Colorado.
The data was so good, I’ve done very little to this apart from stack the subs, stretch and apply a little contrast.
The iconic Horsehead dark nebula in Orion (Barnard 33). Backlit by the extensive billowing clouds of excited hydrogen gas in emission nebula IC 434.
The Burning Bush or Flame nebula is on the left (NGC 2024 or Sharpless-2 227).
Go left and downwards from B33 and there is a dust/gas cloud reflection nebulae lit by bright stars -NGC 2023.
Another bright nebula lies far left, IC 432.
