Orion Nebula (NGC 1976, M42)
The Orion Nebula (NGC 1976, M42) taken on a cold November night.
> The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion’s Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. — Wikipedia
This image was created from around 30 exposures between 40 seconds and 3 minutes long, at ISO 800, Stacked in AstroPixelProcessor. I used the same data as in the original I shared, but using AstroPixelProcessor instead of DeepSkyStacker and some alternative processing. I prefer the colours in this one!
I used a SkyWatcher Esprit 100 telescope on a HEQ 5 Pro tracking mount, and the Nikon z 50 which coped admirably.
