Inside the Orion Nebula

Short exposure with some of the structures and stars inside the nebula, otherwise obliterated with overexposure. The multiple stars Theta1 (Trapezium) and Theta2 with various easily identifiable nebular variables are shown.

This shot was not planned and is just a test, however it offers many ideas:

- A Maksutov, although not very "fast" can be used without problems even in deep-sky, indeed it can be very useful with compact objects.

- The recent cameras are more performing even without any modification in astrophotography and really usable at high ISO (3200-6400).

- Interested and even useful photos can be taken without too many technical complications. Here, 30-second unguided exposures were used with the EQ3-2 mount.
