Orion's Belt

[Snoani]

Hi all

I decided to take advantage of what has been a rare clear sky with the weather that we have experienced recently to point to Orion with the widefield scope and OSC filter that I bought this year.

Cloud still rolled in during the night, the only clear night I saw in December, so this image is only made up of 2h of narrowband data captured with the Optolong L-Ultimate and 1h of RGB. The scope is the Askar FMA180 Pro and camera is the ZWO ASI 294MC Pro.   

It is nice to be able to capture Orion's belt in its entirety and I am pleased with the detail that I have been able to pull out despite the limited data.

I have the exact same rig but must have missed that one clear spell. Great image, especially impressed with how well you have controlled those big stars.

That is an excellent widefield of the area!
