IC434, the Horsehead and a burst of flames

Two clear nights allowed a prolonged visit to this breathtaking panorama around Alnitak in the Orion constellation. We have all kinds of astronomical objects here: dark nebulae in the Horse Head and the Flame, red emission nebulae around the Horse, blue reflection nebulae and very young stars that powers the lot. Amazing.
