About this image

Trevor has featured on PotW previously and he has recently produced this new, excellent image of the region in Orion centred on Messier 78. Trevor asks me to point out that this is a work in progress, as it is still short of data and a little noisy, but nonetheless it qualifies for this slot. Of course, it helps to have Orion high in the South Australia skies compared to its maximum altitude in the UK, but Trevor has done his usual super job.
