Description

The Epsilon Orionis Nebula lands squarely around the center star of Orion's Belt (Alnilam), and is often overlooked in favor of imaging the Horse Head. I seem to be undeterred from imaging the brightest stars directly, and even framed the nebula including the third star in Orion's Belt (Mintaka).
