Hey all, this is a cropped widefield shot of Orion I worked on over a couple of nights of clear moonless nights with the recent new Moon. I hadn't done any astrophotography since last summer so it was nice to have a crack at it again.

This image contains a handful of nebula ranging from the prominent Orion Nebula and Running Man to the Horsehead Nebula and the faint and tiny M78, all being interspersed between background interstellar medium.

Imaging details:

Nikon Z6 II
105mm stopped to f/3
1448 x 25s (~10hrs)
ISO 800

No calibration frames.

Bortle 7

Processed in Siril following the general steps of "Full image processing (pre-processed with scripts)". Resulting file edited with Lightroom.
