This image captures the riot of colour and nebulosity that surrounds Orion’s belt and sword. You can see the 3 main stars of Orion’s belt in the left part of the image, namely Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Around Alnitak and in the centre of the frame we see the famous Horsehead nebula and Flame nebula, a bright pink Hydrogen emission nebula which has a globule of dark dust forming the silhouette of the nebula’s namesake. To the top right we have M42 the Great Nebula in Orion, this is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and is easily visible as Orion’s sword from light polluted areas. To the bottom left we see the blue and black reflection nebula M78 and in the very corner the beginning of Barnard's loop a huge expanse of faint hydrogen nebula that surround the entire constellation. The entire area is filled with dark dust, imagine this next time you look at Orion’s Belt how much stuff surrounds those stars.

Humans have dreamed of and studied the stars since the beginning of history. To know the stars and motion of the planets has always been a valued pursuit. Since the dawn of civilisation, we have built to reach for the heavens from the ziggurats of Mesopotamia to the skyscrapers of Manhattan humans have sought to build towards the heavens. Last century we first visited space and new telescope technology unlocked the ability to see and record the cosmos.
In the last decade entry level camera equipment has advanced to the point where it allows us to explore the wonders of space in our own backyards. This collection seeks to highlight how an average person can unlock and explore the wonders of space with basic photography equipment.
The equipment used to take these images is limited to a star adventurer star tracker, a 135mm F2 prime lens and an entry level dslr. The collection will be expanded over time and will include collectors rewards, including raffles and air drops.
