Description

Keeping watch for millennia over the blue supergiant Alnitak Aa are the Flame Nebula and Horsehead Nebula.

This is my first narrow-band capture of these deep sky objects in the constellation Orion.

This DSO is one of my earliest memories of seeing an 'image from space' as a child. I was very excited to be able to capture it with this much detail.

This image (and its alternate) are SHO and HOO variations, assembled from data I collected over two consecutive nights in early November 2020.
