152mm f/8, 30x + HBeta, Bortle 4, SQM-L 21.1
Conditions in the target region: SQM-L 20.3
Only the brighter parts of IC 434 were visible. No trace of the Horsehead Nebula. Tried at 30x and 46x with HBeta filter and 46x with UHC filter.

FAILED
10" f/4.7, 46x + HBeta, Bortle 4, SQM-L 21.1
The edge of IC 434 was clearly visible. After a few moments the Horsehead Nebula was also clearly visible with averted vision as an irregular darkening in the nebula.
