Hi Robert
Welcome to the site and glad you had a good observing session. The Horsehead Nebula is a difficult object visually. You need very dark skies, experienced eyes and a Hydrogen Beta filter to have any hope. I have a 12" dob and have no chance from my site in suburbia. The nearby Flame Nebula is dim enough, I have no hope of lassooing the Horsie, unless with a camera.
