Description

I tried to capture the smaller, forgotten nebula right above the popular Orion.  This image is a testament to how fast the RASA 11 scopes are.  I took a full set of images in RGBHSO in 1.4 hours.  I was actually surprised at how well it came out for such little time, but as many know, this area of sky is bright.Date:  March 9th, 2022R: 89 x 5 seconds
