IC434 (The Horsehead Nebula)
The Horsehead Nebula in Orion, rendered in SHO Palette from One-Click Observation Bundle.
It is amazing to see how dramatic commonplace objects looked, depending on perspective. The same object without the belt or other parts of the Orion Nebular Cluster doesn't convey the same sense of scale when zoomed in.
