Horsehead Nebula 20th.November.2024. Narrowband
The Horsehead Nebula or Barnard 33, is a small dark nebula in the located in the constellation of Orion. The nebula is located close to the star Alnitak, far left in the middle of the image, in 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. It lies at a distance of around 1,375 light years.
A quick test to try out my Esprit 150mm refractor. Haven't used it for ages and found the inside of the objective to be very dirty so have tried my best to clean it.
