The Great Orion Nebula & Surrounds

Description

Captured from the backyard of my new home on the slopes of Grand Mesa at an elevation of 6600 feet in Western Colorado on the 16th February 2017, quite an odd view of this area showing M42 to the upper right and only part of IC434 the bright Emission Nebula & backdrop to The Horsehead Nebula B33, reason being this new image will form the third panel of my Panoramic Mosaic of this region. I was very pleased with the depth and detail I was able to obtain with only 120 second exposures using the new QHY367C, Full Frame 7376x4938, 36.4mega pixel One Shot Color CMOS camera.
