Beautiful shot, Greg! What a field of view! Looks like you caught a bit of Barnard's Loop in that shot! Wow! 8O

Hello Greg,

this is an amazing image! I'm used to your great works, but this one I really, really like!
I am always amazed at how much you can squeeze out of such short exposures: a true processing masterpiece wink

Ciao from a very rainy Italy :C :C :C

Yes, an interesting object for sure. I've been wanting to re-image it for a few years now but have not had the weather to do so.

Greg,

This is a stunning piece of work. You guys down under have Orion at the zenith ... and I am jealous!

Anthony.
