Here we have M 78 in the lower center and NGC 2071 right above it. Lots of dark nebulas snaking their way through the area. The composition feels a bit crammed because I wanted to fit the faint nebula in the top center into the image. The area is located in one of the most photogenic areas of the sky - the constellation of Orion.

I initially wanted to image this area for three hours, but a miscalculation on my part screwed me over, so I only gathered two hours of data.

Other notes:
First night out with the new tripod. The goal was to lower the whole setup so that my car would be a more effective wind block. While that worked beautifully, I miscalculated how much I could track an object beyond the meridian. This cost me an hour of exposure data.

Otherwise an uneventful but cold night.
