A few weeks ago I captured this image one night. Over several days I worked on processing it because it is an image you can't just look up into the sky and see. This is the Flame Nebula which is near the left most star, Alnitak, in the Belt of Orion. Below the Flame Nebula, the Horsehead Nebula can also be seen, sort of. 😉 This is a stack of 15 images and I learned while doing this that I need a lot more. 😁 The Flame I was able to bring out fairly well with processing but the Horsehead is fainter and did not work as well. With more images to work with you capture more and more light and detail. I will try this one again next winter when Orion is higher in the sky again. It's getting dark way too late these days too which makes it difficult as well.
