Description

Mosaic comprising stacked and combined images from 2 imaging sessions, in order to cover a greater expanse of the Great Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. This was necessary because my CPC-1100 with Hyperstar and Atik 490-EX has a FOV of 15.3 arcminutes x 12.3 arcminutes. Included here are M42, 43, and NGC 1973, 1975, and 1977. Stacked and combined images were joined in Photoshop CS2.
