Orion Seen Like Never Before 👋✨

Orion Seen Like Never Before 👋✨

 

I am happy I can show you my other winter landscape. The constellation of Orion, which dominates the winter sky, hides many beautiful hydrogen nebulae, and it has been a challenge for me for a long time because I was unsure how to make these nebulae visible. Finally, after I bought a modified 6D and gained experience, I am sure I can say I know how to do it!

 

And imagine that these skies were not very good. I was still in Bortle 4 or 5. However, the conditions were pretty good - around 5 °C above the inversion and no wind.

 

But most of all, the sky was covered with a strong airglow, which I had never had in my pictures before. And with it, the postprocess was quite tricky because of all the colors in the sky.

 

However, I am happy with the result! I hope I will be able to apply these experiences and have one more opportunity to take images of this sky this season.
