Description

A 2 panel-mosaic of the region around Alnitak, the left-most star in Orion's Belt, by Liam Yanulis. Featured are the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae. This was captured at 1270mm in 2 panels using Arthur. In the clear imaging conditions in Bryce Canyon, I even captured the interstellar dust surrounding the nebulae.
