LRGB 360:72:70:95, 75% full size. One of the things I enjoy the most about owning my own imaging setup is being able to pick out an object that I cant find a good, deep picture of on the Internet in natural color and discovering what it looks like. This nebula is located in northern Orion close to the border with Gemini. Im not certain of it but I suspect that the reason the red color of the nebula is paler on the left side is because the H-Alpha emission is mixed with blue reflection off of the brightest foreground star.
