I pointed a 12' telescope at the leftmost star in Orion's belt for 20 hours to reveal the Horsehead Nebula and surrounding objects. This is my deepest and most detailed image of that region, captured in true color. Make sure you zoom in to check out all the little details!

The discovery of an additional 12 #satellites orbiting #Jupiter now brings the planet's total moon count to 92,up from 80.
