Nice one Jorge! This is another I have yet to image. I usually get distracted by the horse and that other bright thing nearby lol.

some good detail there for just 92mins of integration. i'm currently working on this one as well, and it is a challenging target.

Thank you for comments.


Yes, Kevin. There are many objects in the sky that are abandoned and forgot. Orion area is an example. Every body, every time with M 42, Horse ... Horse, M 42 ... and so on.


Yes, Richard. But not so much. I think I should have used more ISO. And time of integration will be an important factor because of faint areas.
I saw in Internet some photos of this area very very beautiful. Narrow band filter will be very useful here: Halfa and O3

I did a repro to enhance the colors. And I found a photo from APOD-NASA. I needed to reduce the APOD-NASA to have both images with the same size.
