Zeta Orionis region - a photo on Flickriver

            Canon EOS5DMkII 254mm Newtonian @ 1200mm 81 x 30s f/4.8 ISO6400 2011-01-28 20:52:45-21:42:11 UT
Taken from Rookhope, Co. Durham (Bortle 3)
The star Zeta Orionis (the brightest one here, with large diffraction spikes from the telescope) is surrounded by nebulae. This photo is oriented with N to the left to make the Horsehead nebula more obvious. It is a dark cloud of dust obscuring the brighter emission nebula behind it.
Standard DSLR at prime focus of Newtonian, no filters. On HEQ5 mount, driven but not guided.
At 40.5 minutes a longer exposure than previously and therefore showing much more detail (increased signal to noise ratio).
