Didn't do much in the way of imaging this past Winter, but I did try to get a few hours of the Orion region whenever I could in February. Orion's gone behind the trees now and dipping into the Walmart Dome of Daylight, so no more chances.
I believe this is about 2 to 3 hours of 3 minute exposures at ISO400 with a 100mm f/3.5 lens and the modded Nikon D5300 and the L Enhance filter.

Re: Goodbye Orion
Great shot Tom.
You did a great job of capturing this wide field area. I did not even know that the Horsehead and Orion's Nebula could be captured in a single image.
Nicely done!

Re: Goodbye Orion
Tom,
You even caught some of Barnard's Loop and all three of Orion's belt stars!!
But that makes me want to rotate the image to give the mid-waist accessory the proper slope.

Re: Goodbye Orion
Thank you, Roger, Depending on the sensor, you can fit the Horsehead and M42 up to a 180mm lens.
And Steve, Rotate if you must, but gyrating the image to Space Cowboy is far more exotic.
