Description

Not gonna lie, I didn't expect to get a decent image of this faint nebula after I couldn't see any nebulosity on my camera screen as I took some test exposures.

After stacking and processing my 2 hours of data I did however manage to reveal it.

I really wish I could have captured more data but Orion is setting very early already and I probably won't get to photograph it again until next year.

If you look really closely you might be able spot 4 far away galaxies!
