That's really cool!
Look at all the familiar sights in this wintry skyscape. There are all the nebulas of Orion, Barnard's Loop, The Lambda Orionis nebula, The Sigma Orionis Nebula and a lot of non-Orion nebulas like The Rosette Nebula and many others.

But we can also see the Eridanus Loop at center right! We hardly ever see that one in photographs. But we can see it in today's APOD, just as we can see it in Ondrej Králik's picture!
I can't show you today's APOD here, because it is too big. But note, in Daniel López' image, how the California Nebula, the Pleiades and the comet line up perfectly in the righthand part of the picture! Beautiful!
That's a delightful APOD!
