Horsehead and Flame Nebula

I have found that I am no longer able to complete a project in a single night, or even in several consecutive nights. As the end of the season is approaching, I have stopped working on my Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula project after only two hours of data and saved it to continue next year.

Open Cluster NGC 1647 in Taurus and Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)

I know I am kind of late to the party. But in my defense: When I checked where the comet was in the sky when I first heard about it, it was in the north, and my house was blocking the view. I didn't realize that it will be coming around to the south where I can image it.

For me, this part of the nebula always looks a bit like an alien face in the profile.
