Hi all, new member to this group 
Last year I took a widefield image of the entire Orion constellation and noticed an interesting little mountain-shaped nebula in between M42 and the Witch Head nebula. I looked into it and found it's cataloged as SH2-278. I couldn't find many deep exposures of it, so decided to give it a go, and definitely wasn't disappointed!
There's so much going on in this area, gorgeous blue puffs of reflection nebulae, the brown of the molecular cloud, pretty red emission highlights on the edge as well as some HH objects embedded within, and even a few little spiral galaxies in the background.
I wanted more exposure time, but La Nina had other plans, so this is just over 9 hours of LRGB in total from Bortle 2. Hope you all enjoy the view as much as I do!
