Description

My initial effort at these iconic nebulae: ICI 434 and NGC 2024 (plus miscellaneous small reflection nebulae). The big blue one is unfortunately not a reflection nebula, but rather the notorious microlensing diffraction from the ASI1600MM's sensor on very bright stars (in this case Alnitak) . I'll try this target again with an ASI294MC to avoid this unwanted effect. I am though quite happy with my new mount's tracking performance, as I did not have to discard a single frame (a first for me).
