Description

The popular trio of Alnitak (blue supergiant), the Flame & Horsehead nebula of the Orion Complex. Captured with an 80mm APO with a 0.8x Focal Reducer on an unmodified APS-C OSC dSLR with 37 x 180 seconds at ISO 800. Pushed this one a little purple to be a little different as I like purple/pink palettes, so not shooting for accuracy here, one of the quarks of being color-blind, so fair warning if you don't like things that are not true to the source! This light is approximately 1,350~1,500 years old so these photons started their journey back in 667 B.C. and we're finally seeing it today.
