The horsehead dark tiny blob

It should be mentioned that seeing it means you can detect a tiny bump of darkness extending into the H-Beta dim glow of IC434. You may notice it being slightly irregular due to the 'chin' hooking to the north if you get very lucky OR have fairly large amateur scope.

Don't expect one of those views we see in magazines all the time unless you have a 60" scope or larger ... (ideal for field work )
