IC434 Horse Head Nebula

[Comet Hunter]

So I shot the horse head the same night as I did M3 star cluster. I read IC434 is the most photographed deep space target in the night sky.
I use a filter drawer and my kit switched targets from IC434 to M3 about 2 am. Needless to say that why I didn't change filters for the star cluster, I was fast asleep... lol
IC434 had 58 - 5 min subs. IC434 was a challenge for me to process as it was so bright.

I have seen many of this object. This is really nice

A very classic region of the sky for a reason - well done on this version!

Awesome work Ed! Even when I am awake, which I am when I image, I prefer not to change filters from my filter drawers during the night. I have a few times, but I try to just stay with one filter through the whole night.

I didn't know this was the most photographed object in space. If asked I would have guessed Orion and Andromeda. Though this is in the Orion complex, so maybe that counts? If asked, I would have put this in the Top 5 though.

Great job!
