Description

First image taken on New Year's Day 2020. This is my first take at the Nebulae surrounding Alnitak and while I'm not unhappy with the result, the microlensing of the ASI1600 in combination with what I believe are reflections from the filters are giving me some headaches. As for all images I attempted during my three night in the countryside, I could have also gathered more data for this one as there's quite a bit of noise in the dark areas after stacking. I am really happy with the colours in this image, though.
