This is the area around Zeta Ori, the left star in Orion's Belt. Taken during the same light-drenched session that the first M42 picture was below. There was a TON of post processing here, i'm not sure it even qualifies as actual astrophotography any more, but nothing was added, composited, or moved.

That's the Flame Nebula at the top (NGC 2024) and the famous Horsehead Nebula at the left (Barnard 33, against the red backbround of IC 434.) That's NGC 20234 at center left. There is a lot to be redone in this picture, but Orion is leaving my night sky early now; next year.
