Orion Molecular Cloud Complex - Anitak Region

Here is another image that is part of a larger project to image the entire Orion Molecular Cloud Complex at high resolution at Frosty Drew Observatory and Science Center. This image features the left star of Orion's Belt - Alnitak, the Flame Nebula, the Horsehead Nebula, and more. This project will continue over winter 2021-2022.

I captured this image over several nights in December 2020 at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, Rhode Island.
