Description
Not the best image ever. Took last night with poor seeing conditions and average transparency. The Horsehead nebula is located in Orion's belt. The brightest star in the image is the left-most (in the Northern Hemisphere) star in the belt.

Brilliant! Without question one of the best nebulae there is. I used to have a refractor when I was younger so I could never come up with something like this. Nice work.
