 | | Orion is one of the favourite constellations for amateur astrophotographers, as in addition to containing the famous Orion Nebula, it also contains one of the most popular deep-sky objects, the dark nebula known as Barnard 33, or more commonly, the Horsehead. |
 | | Below is the famous Orion nebula, M42, the brightest part of the Orion cloud, a huge area of red gas covering most of the constellation. |
 | | At the top left of the picture, in the constellation of Monoceros, is the Rosette nebula, a large red emission nebula with an open cluster (NGC2244) embedded within it. |
