Description

Captured this quick wide field image (3.89degx2.58deg) last night of the Horsehead-Orion Nebula region using my Canon 200mm f2.8 lens, ZWO ASI071mc Pro, and Optolong L-Extreme camera. Mount was a Orion Atlas AZ/EQ-G. It's only 40min of data, 20x180sec, but still looks have decent. I applied calibration frames. I forgot to drop the gain back down from 200 to 90(unity), so the brighter stars are a little wonky. The ZWO ASIAIR Pro did a great job managing the whole session, including a meridian flip. Processed with PixInsight and Photoshop 2020.
