I took advantage of 3 hour window between storms to take a 3x20 minute H-alpha exposure with a 155EDF at F5.3 and STL11K camera. I tried a different orientation than normal just to be ornery, and maybe see if it would reveal anything new. Image is reduced to 25% size.

Wonderful detail in the nebulae, Roland, especially in the dimmer outer regions! Out of curiosity, I've seen a little dimmer star next to Alnitak in some versions of this image. Is that star visible in the raw data?

Looks great!
I like your framing.It shows the extent of the nebulosity that is not often seen.
