Description

The region surrounding the Orion belt can be very scenic for astrophotography. To the left of the Orion belt lies the Horsehead nebula, and the Flame nebula lies to the right. The Orion nebula can be seen to the far left. Finally, the Barnard's Loop appears to the far right, from bottom to top. Also, we have the M78 nebula close to the Barnard's Loop, to the right of the Orion belt.
