Come on EZ fess up.
You got that from the Hubble photos didn't you?
only joking.
WOW.
That is just stunning, I am blown away. Can I save it as a desktop pic?
Maybe you can submit it to APOD and Universe Today and knock Iceman off his pedestal a little.:lol:

Great photo! Love the horsehead, that's where predator is from ;) I've heard this object is quite dim, have people here seen it and made out the "head" shape? What kind of gear do you need? Would a 12" under dark skies resolve it?
EDIT: Google is my frien, promise ;)

To merely "see" B33, you will need a dark site and a large telescope, and to resolve it as a "horsehead" requires proper (H-Beta) filtering. Our drawing of the Horsehead at left was rendered with a 20-inch Dob at a very dark site. To observe this object as it appears in published black and white astrophotos, you'd need a minimum aperture size of over 30 inches.
there are of course people who have see it with less... some of the reports on seds will show you that...
fan-blooming-tastic ezy! :D

Taking off the IR filter really helps doesnt it, allowing the DSI to really do its stuff.
