The suburban skies of the Burlington, Ontario were cold, stable and reasonably dark on the evening of December 4th, 2018. The combination of good viewing conditions and a better-than-usual polar alignment on the tracker permitted me to capture and stack forty 30-second exposures of the Orion Nebula. I need to process this more, however I'm happy with the first cut.

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens

40 light frames, 300 mm @ 30 sec f/5.6 ISO 6400, 40 darks, 20 flats and 20 bias stacked in DeepSkyTracker, processed with Lightroom.
