The Orion Nebula
I'm gearing up for a great season of astrophotography in the clear, dry, cold, high altitude skies of the Eastern Sierra. This is one of my first shots take with my new setup. It's the Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) below Orion's belt.
There are ways I can improve these images... capture multiple exposures and use astronomy stacking programs to use and combine the sharpest shots, to show more detail, but for a first try on a night with ample light pollution from the moon, I'm very encouraged by the results.
