Description

A rich field of nebulae and star clusters in West Gemini / North Orion

- including the Jellyfish Nebula, Tulip/Monkey-Head Nebula, IC 2162, Lower's Nebula, M35 and its sidekick NGC 2158.

Taken with the rig I call "Die Nebelmaschine"!

--> Sharp fast Samyang 135mm f/2 lens + STC Astro Duo-NB clip filter + inherently red-sensitive Fuji X-A3 camera.

(Yeah, I repurposed the German word for a fog or smoke machine as used in nightclubs)
