Description

A work-in-progress of a project I never finished due to poor weather over the winter.

This three-panel Hydrogen-alpha mosaic of the Great Orion and Horsehead Nebula was shot in December 2022 from Norfolk, England under Bortle 4 skies.

Approx 8-hours per panel, for a total of 24 hours plus some HDR short-subs on the core of M42.

I intend to go back and capture colour this year, when Orion is visible again.

The unfinished monochrome hydrogen emission is quite dramatic nonetheless!
