Image Details:

The Flame and Horsehead nebulae are Alnitak's (first star on Orion's belt) constant companions. Love these two nebulae because of the dramatic contrast of the dark gas clouds in front of the diffuse and emission gas clouds. Some of my favorite Fall and Winter targets beginning to grace our night sky.
