Orion & surrounds including Barnard's Loop, Orion, Horsehead, Rosette & Witch Head (if you can find it)

I decided to do some testing of lenses while my AM5/ASIair+/Askar V was busy taking pics of the Angel Nebula. So, I got out my astro modified Canon R using a Vis+Ha filter and my trusty Star Adventurer 2i for tracking. I took 80 1 minute pics. While this pic is not as good as what I took wth my AM5 using 10 min exposures in November it demonstrates that with less sophisticated equipment and careful processing that you do not have to have an AM5 to take interesting photos of Orion & its surrounds.
