Orion Nebula (M42) - DSLR with 300mm telephoto lens

The M42 Orion Nebula using my new Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens (cropped image).

 

This pic is noisier than I'd hoped as I had difficulty getting the motor drive to track at the correct speed so ended up using a high ISO and shorter exposure. That considered, I'm pleased with the way it turned out from an entry level telephoto lens!

 

Taken in Poole, Dorset, UK.
