I didn't think you could even see the Horsehead visually, but last night we did. It presented as a darker than dark patch as compared with the surrounding very faint nebulosity.
It was exceptionally transparent night made more pleasant by the stillness and mild warm night. Another highlight was seeing NGC1049, the extragalactic glob in the Fornax Dwarf. I also tracked down all the globs associated with the Canis Dwarf, some planetaries and a few of the Messier open clusters that just rose above the Northern horizon. The Flame Nebula also looked very good and the nebulosity in Eta Carinae was very vivid.
