This deep view of the Orion constellation glows with reddish colors thanks to the vision of a candidate for alpha hydrogen emissions, a type of light emitted from hydrogen atoms.
The large complex circle is known about the three stars that form the Orion belt as Barnard’s Loop (Sh2-276), a nebula about 1600 light-years old, which itself extends about 300 light years. The Barnard episode is part of the largest Orion Complex, which consists of dust, hydrogen and helium, and is the hometown of the stars.

I always wanted to make an image like this that shows all the beautiful reddish hydrogen that surrounds one of the most exciting and colorful areas in the entire night sky as shown from the ground. This cloud contains well -known wonders such as M42, Ras Horse, LDN 1622, Lambda Orionis episode and bluish heads of the bluish witch (Oiii), near Rigel Star.
I have prepared this shot (Samyang 35mm F1.8 with Poseidon C Pro) available and prepared for two months before Orion cooperated. This image was a bit difficult, due to the unidentified weather and the fact that the Orion constellation was starting early along the western horizon.

I only had 40 minutes every clear night between February and March 2025 as it appears from the Dark Sky Alqua Reserve in Portugal, so collecting the seven hours of data in the total of this image took many nights. If I took it at the beginning of the winter, I could have taken it in one night. I hope you enjoy the result.
