#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #Horsehead Nebula aka #IC434 is a dark nebula near #Alnitak the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. The red hydrogen of the nebula is though to be excited by Sigma Orionis, the bright star in the upper right. The nebula doesn't rise until 2am at my location right now and I had to throw away many exposures due to clouds so this image is only 17 five-minute exposures captured in the wee hours this morning. #StillLearning
