Orion Nebula

View Large in BlackMagic

Nikkor 300/4.5, Nikon D300

18x 1/2, f/4.5, ISO 6400 (Cropped and Stacked)

 

I use to say that I don't have a tracking tripod, now I actually have one, but I'm still lacking a motor drive and some way to connect the camera.

This one as taken with as long exposure as possible without trailing, 1/2 seconds... and 18 exposures... The images was oversampled and stacked in Keith's image Stacker
