Orion's Sword 2019
The next night after successfully imaging the Rosette Nebula, I framed and centered on the Orion Nebula where the whole of "Orion's Sword" fit into the frame at the refractors 500mm focal length.
This exposure of the Orion Nebula region is really just a quick and lazy session since I didn't want to waste a clear night by doing nothing and the scope was already setup and focused so I wouldn't be spending much time on setup. I also didn't have a plan for imaging another object and M42 region is near the Rosette and in the same part of the sky so it seemed like a good idea being a bright and easy object to image.
This image consists of all RGB or OSC (through the IRCut filter) 31x15s, 32x30s, 16x60s, 10x90s, 11x120s ISO1600 subs taken using a full spectrum modded and cooled Canon 40D through 80mm F6.25 refractor.
