Yup, that's pretty much the entire constellation in that picture. A whole lot of hydrogen (the red gas). You can just see the horsehead nebula below the left star of the belt as a tiny dark projection into the pink nebula.

That's why I really liked the picture. The nebulas and everything being in it. But for some reason I don't recall the white form to the right of Rigel?
@Hathacat IC 2118 the Witch Head nebula. It's really a faint nebula so it would take a large scope to visually see it It has been reportedly seen in medium sized scopes with a narrow band filter. Some even say they can see part of it in 10X50 binos with filters. ya gotta be under a really dark sky for that.
@starwatcher-al Thanks! I didn't recognize it, and I have seen pictures of it before!

Posted by starwatcher-alSolar minimum was in 2019 so the sun is ramping up in flares, spots and prominences.
Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
