Description

Ever since seeing this enigmatic deep sky wonder on APOD I have been captivated !A Previous attempt with 'Zamar'  20" F5 Dob was sub optimal but none the less successful.A revisit was required!.  With the advantage  of a much wider field  of view , many more objects are visible within this section  of the Orion Molecular Cloud.https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap111024.html  . Inspired by our regional expert I new this target would require some decent exposure time .As such this will be my biggest project to date.I love how it is not understood how the Orion waterfall exists. Please excuse the vertical orientation  as a waterfall needs to run down right😉& I found NGC1999 difficult to post process . . It's a learning curve .... . Awe and Wonder folks!
