During my stay on the Hacienda los Andes at the turn of the year 2018/19 Pedro Borja offered to capture data of an object of my choosing with the TEC 500. I proposed the "waterfall nebula" aka HH 222, located directly south of the Great Orion nebula. In the end we chose a framing that included NGC 1999 as a contrast.
