Description

The flame nebula and horse head nebula are situated about 1,400 light-years at the eastern end of Orion's Belt. They are part of what must be one of the most iconic and recognisable deep sky regions.  This rendition combines an RGB and an HSO  (sic, not SHO) image.  The Hydrogen Alpha was also used to provide a luminance channel.
