B33 and IC 434 in Orion: At last! I have made numerous attempts to see the Horsehead, with no success. However, at the 2010 Isle of Wight Star Party, we (myself and Owen Brazell) saw it comparatively easily. IC 434 was easily seen through Owen's 20" Obsession as a fairly faint area of nebulosity taking up half the eyepiece field, and B33 (the Horsehead) stood out against IC 434, as a large (much larger than I expected), dark, semicircular area cutting into the ribbon of IC 434. With averted vision, we could just make out the horse's nose. Much fainter without the filter. 20" f/4.5 120x plus HBeta filter, 13th March 2010
