Horsey!

Well I have managed to formally record an observation of the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33).
I actually have seen it on several occasions starting with November 20 at Heathcote through the ASV 25" and twice more at home with my 20". Tonight it was really obvious once a UHC filter is applied and I am certain I saw the actual shape of the head so all up I think that counts as an observation. I was a little surprised how big it was, I had been lead to believe it was much smaller, but at 150x it was large and obvious.
