The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, one of the bottom stars in Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.

This was our longest total exposure, comprising of approximately 15 hours of Ha. R, G and B frames. Captured with the Sbig ST2000xm attached to the Skywatcher ED80.
