Flame and Horse Head Nebula

Horse Head and Flame Nebula: This overwhelming object, a combination of emission, reflection and dark nebulae, was photographed taking the largest possible field of view. It took nearly five hours of exposure to reveal also the faintest details of this grand panoramic view. The two bright stars are Alnilam(upper left corner) and Alnitak, two of the three belt stars of Orion.
