Description

This is roughly the "upper" half of Barnard's Loop, Sh2-276, in Ha. The subs as they came down were in horizontal mode, with LDN 1622, the Boogie Man Nebula [top just left of center], on his head. When we typically look at the area around Orion the Loop is in a vertical orientation, to the "left "of the main constellation stars. I rotated the final image to this more typical and familiar vertical position. The poor Boogie Man is now sideways, but it is space, after all...no real up or down.

I am about to hopefully be able to add a filter wheel to this setup and not use a filter drawer, so plan to gather OIII and perhaps SII data for further presentations.
