The Horsehead and Flame Nebula - a photo on Flickriver

            My very first target with my telescope, was IC 434/Barnard 33, the Horse Head (and Flame) Nebula, about a year ago. At that time, my autoguiding camera was glitching and did not want to work. I could only do 3m exposures and even then, there was some star trails and blur in all the images. When I exchanged the guiding camera, the horse was too low in the horizon to re-do it, so I promised myself we would meet again in 2017. 
We spent 4 hours, guided, on IC 434, and it looks much better now! Still not perfect, but until we are able to get a CCD camera, this will have to do!
IC 434 refers to the pink cloud you see behind the horse head. Barnard 33 is the actual Horse Head, which is a dark nebula.
