Orion Molecular Cloud Complex
My largest astrophotography project to date and the first major widefield image captured after adding a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i tracker to my setup. This nearly six-hour integration reveals the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, including the Orion Nebula (M42), Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977), Flame Nebula (NGC 2024), Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33), Barnard’s Loop (Sh2-276), and extensive hydrogen-alpha emission surrounding the Orion constellation.
