Horsehead Nebula IC 434
The constellation of Orion has a lot of nebulous areas. One of the famous areas is the Horsehead nebula around one of the belt stars called Alnitak. There is a blue reflection nebula around this star. To the left of the star is H-II nebula region call the flame nebula or NGC 2024. The dark nebula silhouetted by the red H-II nebula region is called the Horsehead nebula or IC 434. Just to the left of it is another reflection nebula called NGC 2023. To the upper-right of the picture is a double star called Orion Roe. I took this data when it was a little foggy outside due to the extream cold. I will have to try and get more data after it warms up a little. I calibrated, stacked and processed this picture in Pixinsight.
