Horsehead Region-Ha enhanced

This wide field image of the Horsehead and Flame region is a combination from three sessions with 105mm and 80mm telescopes in 2009-12-07, 2011-01-31 and 2011-02-01. Total exposure time was 6 hours, 6 min. The two very bright stars are Alnilam (upper left) and Alnitak (above the flame) that are part of the belt of Orion. The image shows a wide region of glowing Hydrogen gas with the prominent Horsehead dark nebula in the centre of the image.
