The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 in emission nebula IC 434) taken on January 3rd, 2016 from my Creedmoor site is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. Alnitak is the bright star dominating the image. The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which is similar to that of a horse's head when viewed from Earth.
