"Horsehead" and "Flame" Nebulae

 

 

These two nebulae are located in the constellation Orion and the two brightest stars you see here are the eastern side of Orion's belt.  This image was captured after I finished capturing the Orion Nebula.  It was about 4AM and the sun would be coming up soon, so I didn't get as many photons as the subject deserves.
