A "quick visit" to the Angel Nebula: A very dramatic-looking target in Orion. The combination of emission and reflection nebulae, surrounded by dust, provides plenty of small details to explore at 1800mm focal length. I still haven't installed my primary mirror mask, so the bright stars remain a challenge in processing. I aimed for a natural look with not-too-exaggerated colours. Enjoy Robert
