Description

A wide field image of the "Axis of Nebula" in the constellation of Orion. The Orion Nebula, Running Man, Horse Head, Flame Nebula, and M78, as well as Orion's belt and some of the surrounding OMCC nebulosity, can be seen.

Captured with a Canon EOS 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, mounted on a standard photography tripod (no tracking).

Manually aligned with difference blending in Photoshop CC, stacked with Smart Objects and Median Mode stacking. Adjusted and color corrected with adjustment layers and finished off with a touch of dodge and burn brushing.

This is my first decent wider field image of DSOs since I began to get into astrophotography back in Fall 2013.
