Description

7 hours and 20 minutes of Data through a Baader Ha 7nm filter taken over a few nights during Nov and Dec 2017.

I had to be careful not to allow Alnitak to bloat and over power the small companion star. I suspect if I were to devote more time to this image there is a lot more nebulosity sitting much deeper in the image.

Thank you for looking. Jim
