The name of this one how could I resist. Has been a cloud fight to get the shots over 4 night in very strong winds. this sits just below the Horse head nebula and just off the red ring that goes around Orion. Barnards loop the goes around half of the Orion area, Barnards loop I will wait for moon less night to try and get this target with my 50mm F1.8 lens ZWOASI071.

QHY183C -10c 82 shots 10 min each over 4 nights and camera rotated.

Thank you Herb was not an easy one to edit either but the Light area's make this shot. I have proved beyond doubt that the rotation works these all required no movement from my first movement. they have less side artefacts from movement stacking its just a little bit fiddly. but very doable. I also may look at this with my 300mm F4 d lens as I have a ring on it as well i can use to rotate with.
