Description
This beautiful celestial landscape is located around Alnitak, the bright belt star in the constellation Orion. The background "illuminating reef" of ionized hydrogen gas (IC 434) frames the dark dust that creates the "horsehead". The bright orange nebula just beneath Alnitak is called "The Flame Nebula". Four hours of exposure through a 60mm telescope using hydrogen alpha, IR blocking clear, red, green and blue filters.
