The Horsehead is such a funny object. The best I ever saw it was at
Flatiron observing site when the seeing and transparency were fair at
best (20" scope, 180X with a UHC filter). Other times at a dark site
and steady skys, I couldn't see it at all. Actually, the Horsehead is
easy to see, it's just all that glowing stuff around it that is hard.
