Horsehead Nebula or Barnard 33 in the constellation Orion taken with CCD camera through medium focal length telescope

The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak. The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1,500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which bears some resemblance to a horse's head when viewed from Earth.
