Description

We've embarked on an insane, multi-year project to produce a high-resolution mosaic of the entire Orion constellation using our small refractor. When it's complete, it will comprise 60 panels at 24 megapixels each. This image contains the first eight panels and travels from Casper to the Great Orion Nebula--M78 to M42. The goal is to get 5 hours of broadband and 5 hours of narrowband for each panel. So this set represents around 80 hours of integration time. This data set was accumulated over 17 nights from November 4 through December 13, 2021.
