Image Details:

First time hitting this target as a primary ... I've done several widefield shot that included it but this is the first time it was featured as it's available early enough to frame up.

The iconic Horsehead is actually a cloud of dust blocking light from a much larger HII region.

Will definitely be re-visiting this target and possibly doing some narrowband normalization.
