M42: Great Orion Nebula
The clouds finally cleared out and my partner and I finally got the chance to take our telescope and imaging gear out for a test run. This was our first attempt at deep-sky astrophotography, and we were pretty pleased with the results
The Orion Nebula is located roughly 1400 light years from Earth. It is comprised primarily of Hydrogen II gas, and the nebulosity (glow) is the result of the HII gas becoming ionized due to the hot young stars contained in the region.
