Yes, that was the guide star the adaptive optics unit was tracking to compensate for tracking errors and the atmosphere.

I really enjoyed watching that...lol

tell me how that's wrong ... the Horsehead Nebula is 1500 light years away, so that means it take 1500 years for the light from it to reach us
