Orion's Belt and Sword Mosaic
Orion's Belt and Sword Mosaic
The incredible vista of the Horsehead (Barnard 33), Orion (M42), Flame (NGC 2024), Running Man (Sh2-279) nebulae (to name a few) in the constellation of Orion.
My second mosaic, despite the first being 4 panels and this being only 2, I found this one much trickier to align due to stars distorting in the corners of each pane. It took a few attempts to get it all together and then a few passes of artefact removal.
