The constellation Orion includes a rich area
of nebulosity. In this deep exposure, wide
shot, which includes the belt and sword region,
visible are part of Barnard's loop, the Flame
Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Great Orion Nebula
(M42), and numerous lesser pieces of NGC
cataloged nebulosity. Also visible is a
general background of H-alpha (red) emission
nebulosity engulfing virtually all of the lower
part of the frame. In this shot the bright
stars have noticeable haloes due to scattering
by thin high clouds.
