Orion (M42) and Running Man Nebulae

A tumbling satellite can be observed just left of NU Ori in the image, a few satellites passed my fov when imaging this object.

 

I took these photos on January 4th after attempting to capture comet 45P/Honda–Mrkos–Pajdušáková, sadly it was too low on the horizon for me to discern from the skyglow. These were the first images I took with my new optical system by which I am very happy with it's efficiency and field of view.

 

Capture:

Orion Newtonian Astrograph 8"

(F/4): Canon 550D

Exposures: 1x65"

ISO 1600

 

Processing: Photoshop for curves, color alteration, noise reduction.
