Orion region

Orion region

I have photographed this region many many times but never get tired of doing it again, especially if I am in very dark skies. The red nebulosity is glowing hydrogen and the white cloud on the left is a dim part of the milky way. Some dark areas correspond to dust obscuring stars behind, a common feature of the galaxy.

Exposure was 3x240s at f/2.8 and ISO 640 frames plus 3 more taken with a diffusion filter for blending to highlight the brighter stars.
