Description

This region of the sky fascinated me since my childhood, I've been hoping to image it for decades Finally got around taking some good data. I'm still amazed at what details one can get with a Ha filter in a city sky! Pretty happy with the result considering my current equipment.

It took some processing time to tame all the reflection patterns around Alnitak (the ZWO ASI1600MM and very bright stars are not good friends!)
