Orion Molecular Cloud

Finally got the tracker out at long last, but could have picked a better night as the skies have been so clear lately - this one was dodging between the thin clouds on a humid night.

 

Interestingly the 68 images struggled to stack in Nebulosity, which is what I usually use for stacking - but worked seamlessly stacking in Photoshop ♂️ Auto align, create smart object then median stack mode.

 

Captured on a Canon 6D (wish it were modded), Tamron 35mm lens and iOptron Skytracker.

68x30 second exposures

F3.2 (this lens sucks for CA even at this aperture)

6400 ISO

 

Stacked and stretched in Photoshop, final touch ups in Lightroom.
