Along with Cygnus, the Orion constellation houses many bright and interesting nebulae. This photo shows a large portion of the sky containing the Orion Nebula M42, the Flame Nebula NGC 2024 and the Horsehead Nebula IC 434.
The image is a 3-part mosaic, and each part was exposed for a total of 2 hours with Chroma LRGB filters, a ZWO ASI2600MM camera, Sky-Watcher Esprit 100ED refractor telescope and an APM Riccardi 0.75x focal reducer.
