    Thankful for some mild nights lately especially with the winter constellations in view. Below is an attempt to photograph the astounding area of Orion near the bright ‘belt’ star Alnitak. The Horsehead nebula and Flame Nebula are in the area and both appear with Alnitak in the photo below. An artifact {stacking?, light leak?, CMOS chip related?) produces the light streaking throughout the picture.
