It's a little late in the season for the Horesehead (getting lower in the sky now), but I needed to test autoguiding software I have been writing for the remote telescope. The Horsehead seemed as likely a subject as any, as it has always been one of my favorites.
I took four 15-minute unbinned images with the C14 and ST-10XE, and guiding went very well. The seeing was pretty good; the images are reasonable even though they are at 0.35 arcseconds per pixel image scale. THe exposures aren't really very deep (even for an hour exposure) because of the small pixels, however. The image here is reduced 40% to help hide the graininess caused by too short of an exposure time.
