Description

This is a 1x2 mosaic of the famous Orion "protagonists", the Great Nebula M 42, the Horsehead Nebula and the Flame Nebula. I find it interesting to see the spatial relation of these well-known objects, how close they really are to each other in the sky, and how comparable their sizes are (although, not their brightnesses...).

It resulted from one clear night on Feb 1st, 2024, with 1.5 h total exposure time per panel.
