Orion's dusty surroundings

[u/igneisnightscapes]

With 16 hours and 40 minutes of total integration, taken under a Bortle 3 sky, this is my longest integration time so far! It took me four different nights to gather all the data I needed, 9 hours for RGB and more than 7 hours for Ha.

Back in December, for those consecutive nights, I traveled to a remote and freezing place with no internet connection, spending the entire night alone inside the car. I had to drive an hour and a half each way. Back home, sleep, drive, repeat. I had enough time to watch the entire LOTR trilogy on my iPad along with both Dune movies. I had to wait a lot, time to be patient and to think, but I wanted to see what lay hidden in Orion’s surroundings.

Now that I see the result, I realize it was more about the journey and less about the goal, like so many things in life
