Description

⁣Technically known as NGC2174 and located in the constellation Orion, this bright emission nebula has many dark dust streams intertwined with regions of energized gases that provide its unique appearance. ⁣

We are star dust.⁣

This image was created with data captured across 10 nights from the end of February to the end of March, 2022 using a 780mm refractor telescope and a cooled, monochrome camera with both narrowband and broadband filters.⁣

The stars are true colour RGB blended in at the final stage of editing. I hope you like it!⁣

⁣25hr 35min 30sec⁣ total exposure time⁣
