Barnard’s Loop/ Orion complex/Rosette Nebula

This image was made with a Hutech modified Canon 5Dmk2 SLR using a 50 lens at F4 tracking on a AP 600 mount. Eight exposures of 4 minutes each were combined. No calibration was done. The image shows many of the popular winter objects: The Orion, Rosette, Horsehead and Flames Nebulae; if you look carefully you can see a faint outline of The Witchhead Nebula to the right of Rigel. The large red arc surrounding Orion’s Belt is called Barnards Loop; the round blob to the right of Betelgeuse is called Sharpless object 2-264. who knew all this stuff was out there!
