"Horsehead and Flame" by Andrew McCarthy
printed on C-Type Matt
This is a 24 hour exposure revealing what is hidden around the leftmost star of Orion's Belt. The Horsehead and Flame Nebula are emission nebulae, start forming regions filled with incandescent hydrogen gas. Deep space objects like this are INCREDIBLY faint. Even with dark skies and a massive telescope, you’ll never be able to see it just like this. I’m thankful I live in times when cameras exist, so I can see these incredible structures that exist in our night sky.
The size indicated is the "leaf size", which will include a 1/2" white border for handling and framing.
