Description

In my entire astrophotography endeavors, this image here has always been my dream target. This region is the reason why I wanted this lens. I'm not done with this image yet. I still want to go out again and collect some more data. But this is one heck of a start! I almost fell over when I saw the results!

On the left, we can see the three bright stars that make up Orion's Belt with the Horse Head Nebula and the Flame Nebula surround the first star in Orion's Belt, Alnitak. We also have the faint nebula M78 on the bottom left. On the right, we can see the great Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula which makes up Orion's sword. On top of that, we can see all of the very faint interstellar dust stretching across the entire region.

I used an old image from a few years ago of M42 that I imaged through my 8" newtonain to blend in and recover the blown out details.
