Flame And Horsehead Region of Orion
This image is a much 'deeper' and non-traditional image of the area in east-central Orion. The flame nebula is seen to the left middle and the horsehead dark nebula is still seen just below and to the left of the center. The photograph is enhanced by long exposures of H-Alpha emissions forming intricate yet very faint clouds all throughout this area which are brought out using careful intensity processing for the photograph.
