Orion Nebula

The job I had the past few years had taken up all of my landscape photography time, and thankfully it is over and I will be doing work that will allow more free time for photography. In the meantime I have been acquiring a telescope and computerized mount system for deep space imaging.

 

This is the very first image I processed, the Orion Nebula (with smaller Running Man Nebula above) using my standard Sony SLT that I carried for many years. Recently I purchased a dedicated astronomy CMOS camera that is monochrome and it's like learning photography all over again from complete scratch.

 

The image acquisition and processing time for these captures can be extremely time consuming, especially when learning. The software and hardware can be very challenging as well...one time I go out and everything runs smooth, the next program and driver issues for no apparent reason.
