This is by no means ready to compete with the big boys, but it is my best Horsehead to date. It is cropped from a larger image I took back on February 12, 2012. The exposure totals only about 40 minutes. I plan to take much longer exposures very soon, hopefully next week, weather permitting.
Here is the full version of it:

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology.

No sign of the planet Magrathea, which H2G2 fans know is in the Horsehead Nebula. Fake!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I like the full version better (not just because of quality). I hope you get to share many more of these with us.

I thought this would be a video of you dancing Gangnam style.

Not on a bet.
