Orion wide field of view

[kosborn]

It's been a long time since I've posted an image due to full moons and La Niña but at last I have one to upload. This is a three panel mosaic taken with an ASI2600mc on an Esprit 100ED combined with a 0.65x reducer to include the Flame, Horsehead, Running Man and Orion nebulae. It's a wonderfully complex region of the sky to rival Rho Oph in complexity (though not as colourful). The original mosaic was 10282 x 5312 pixels so this has been downscaled al lot. The Astrobin version (https://www.astrobin.com/rdv6hf/) has been scaled to 6000 x 3100 so still plenty of pixels to peep at.

that is something else, Kevin. Awesome. The high res version is outstanding.

What an outstanding mosaic Kevin. You must be super proud to be turning out results like this.

Thanks very much. I'm lucky enough to have some good gear and it's hard to go wrong in such an interesting part of the sky.
