Description

Here is Lamda Orionis with my attempt at being "HEAD and shoulders" above the rest this Orion season.
This is a straight RGB image which interestingly does not "fill" the H-alpha emission in some of the fainter regions- but still the main part of the "Angelfish" nebula is here. The cool feature to the left as well as SH2-263 to the right make the field a fun one. This is a two frame mosaic and I used Photometric Mosaic to put it together in PixInsight. (This will be an upcoming instructional video...)

If you enjoy seeing these images... a big please to follow me!
Have a great weekend!
-Adam
