Flying to the Horsehead - An animation I made with DaVinci Resolve with one of my images of the Horsehead nebula in IC434.
Celestron NexStar Evolution 6 + ZWO ASI585MC Pro + HyperStar.
300mm, f2, 120 exposures of 60’’.

After getting 4 hours on the Horsehead Nebula in December, my grandpa decided to collect some more data on it, bringing it to a total of 9 hours of data! The extra data really brings out the faint dust around the red cloud of ionized hydrogen, adding a lot of depth to the photo. I also really like how this image is rotated as it makes the image look more dramatic.

Difficult to observe with an optical telescope, Barnard 33 - better known as The Horsehead Nebula - is a dark dust cloud overlaying the HII bright nebula IC434. To view it directly normally requires very dark skies, clear air, a large (14" or larger) telescope, and an Hb or Ha filter, making it one of the more challenging objects to observe.

For the Traveller fans, it is 422 parsecs away - or about 70 weeks if you could take a direct Jump 6 path to it. It is also just under 1 parsec across - that's a 1 hex object. IC434 is less than a parsec behind it, and is over 4 parsecs across, making it a 4 hex object. Nebulae are one thing (of many) that Traveller tends to gloss over, simply because they are so huge! There is also the matter of such regions being star nurseries, typically with ten or more stars within a single hex. These will all be too young to have any planets, let alone habitable ones!

Back to the real world, though.

With Electronically Assisted Astronomy - in this case provided by a Dwarf3 smart telescope - it becomes an easy object to capture. A mere 37mm lens and a built-in Ha/OIII filter gave a visible image within a few minutes, and an hour of stacked images provided this view.
