Orion Belt Complex
One of the most fascinating regions of the sky, the region below the belt stars in Orion. The rather large nebula is the famous Orion Nebula, a region of new star formation 1,300 light-years away. The other region is just below Alnitak, the lowest of the belt stars. Here there is the Flame Nebula and the famous Horsehead Nebula, a faint hydrogen-alpha area with a dust cloud in the shape of a horse's head. It's hard to see here, but in a longer focal length lens it should look well defined.
