Mighty Alnitak, Horsehead and the Flame

Mighty Alnitak, Horsehead and the Flame. Newtonian Astrograph Version. OSC camera.

Alnitak is a Big star. Not just one, it actually is a 3-stars system. The biggest is estimated to be up to 33 times as massive as the Sun and with a diameter 20 times greater. It is some 21,000 times brighter than the Sun. All this brightness dominates this framing. It's hard to process the image because of all of the blue cast it throws at the rest.
In second plane, at least from my perspective, comes all the beautiful colors and shapes of this group of very well known nebulas in Astrophotography comunity.
The Horsehead (IC434), The flame nebula (NGC2024) and NGC2023 complete this picture (they are about 1300 ly from earth)

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
