About this image

It's that time of year where the Constellation of Orion is rising into view.

I decided to capture a widefield image using my Redcat 71 and full frame

ZwoAsi6200mc camera mounted on the AM5. Also for the first time

I used the new Optilong L-Ultimate filter with dual 3nm Ha

and Oiii. Processed in PixInsight needs some work on the Stars

as the belt is a little bloated but happy so far!
