Here is a wide field image of the center of the Orion Constellation. YOu can clearly see Orion’s Belt accompanied by Rigel and Betelgeuse. The Horsehead (B33) and Flame nebula (NGC 2024) is visible around Alnitak as well as the Orion Nebula (M42). Just North of Rigel you can faintly make out the Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118). You can also see Banards Loop (Sh 2-276 ) to the left of the Horsehead nebula. Banard’s Nebula is part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. You can also make out the dark lanes to the right of Betelgeuse.
