Description

Just for fun, I've managed to collect all my images, made during several years, around the area of Orion's belt/Orion's sword.

I've worked a lot to make a big collage of all my best data to be included in one single image.

The result is this huge (the original one is about 12000 pixels wide) field of view that contains many objects including M42/43, horsehead nebula, flame nebula, keyhole nebula and many more.

Several different telescopes and optics was used and the same is true for CCD cameras and even emulsion film at different scales that has been matched for to be correctly composed in one canvas.

So there it is: Orion belt/sword collage!

Have fun and thanks for watching.
