IC434, the Horsehead

A beautiful object just underneath the belt of Orion. This is one of my favourites, although I have rarely imaged it myself. But I have plans to do a really long and deep exposure of the whole Orion-area. Was planning to this winter. But the bad weather has rendered this impossible. A couple of days ago, I ordered five exposures of this object from a telescope on Tenerife. And here is the result. Not too bad, considering this is just 12.5 minutes of exposure.
20" F/6.8, FLI ProLine PL09000. 15x50sec Luminance, 5x40sec each of R, G and B. Stacked in DSS, processed in PS and Irfanview.
