Orion's Belt and Sword @135mm
Here's the beautiful features that make Orion my favorite winter constellation in HaRGB.
Orion's Belt, made up of the stars (from left to right) Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak can be seen in the lower left of the photo. Near Alnitak is the picturesque Horsehead and Flame Nebulas Above (in this photo, below in our sky) is the brilliant Orion Nebula and Running Man Nebula.
This shot is a combination of about 4.5 hrs of Ha Data (2nd photo) merged with about 1 hour of RGB data from our nearby dark sky site in Cumberland Forest, VA.
All of this data was captured with my Samyang 135mm camera lens, and Zwo ASI294MCPRO Camera and Skywatcher EQ6-R Mount. This was a fun widefield project even if I did lose a couple of fingers and toes getting the data. I hope you enjoy it, and get some clear views of Orion before it's gone for the year (in the Northern Hemisphere at least).
