Further details emerge of Orion's M42 nebula as I try to get to grips with the basics of astrophotography.
Mein erster Versuch der Deep Sky Fotografie.
Hierfür hab ich mir meine Partnerin geschnappt, die mir höchst interessiert dabei zugeschaut hat. M42 befindet sich im Sternenbild des Orion.
Die Aufnahme ist bei weitem noch nicht gut, aber ich denke, ein guter Anfang.
Gestackt mit Sequator aus ca. 50 Aufnahmen zu je 1,3 Sekunden.
A highlight of the winter sky, the bright core of the Orion Nebula has always been a favorite of mine for backyard observation. Astrophotography reveals a much broader, complicated and colorful structure, and my wide shot also captured the companion Running Man Nebula.

Observing Notes:
Well, I’ve had nearly a year of frustration with my SkyWatcher EQ6 mount, which has been giving me alignment errors since January. It’s been looked at twice by the dealer and the Australian Skywatcher supplier, Tasco. They found nothing wrong and I’ve had mixed results since getting it back.
I thought it was resolved but it played up again on this occasion and I ended up manually locating this easy object so I would not come away empty-handed. I now have reason to believe it was a power supply issue and have since bought a replacement battery to power the mount.
Sharpcap livestack performed well, once I was able to begin imaging.

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. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across.
The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust.

The Orion Nebula (M42) is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky, easily visible to the naked eye below Orion’s Belt. Located about 1,500 light-years from Earth, it is one of the closest star-forming regions to us. Photo taken with the ZWO Seestar S50 telescope.

In this narrowband image of the Orion Nebula, I modified the standard Hubble Palette (SHO) to HSO, resulting in the unusual and atypical coloring of this astronomical image.
The image was created by combining three images using SII, Ha, and OIII narrow-band filters. Each filter was captured for a duration of 150 minutes using a Williams Optics Zenithstar 73 telescope and an ASI294MM Pro camera, resulting in a total of 7.5 hours of imaging. The images were then processed using Pixinsight and Photoshop.

Da qualche anno pensavo di cambiare il rifrattore Scopos TL805, compagno di tante avventure sotto cieli stellati; quindi dopo tanti dubbi, rinvii e prediligendo un telescopio con un rapporto focale il più basso possibile, visto che l'Inquinamento luminoso spesso mi costringe ad utilizare filtri a banda stretta, la mia scelta è caduta sul tripletto apocromatico Askar 103APO con il suo riduttore 0.6X.
E la sua prima luce nel mese di dicembre non poteva che essere la "Grande nebulosa di Orione" nota anche come "M42" . Con il rapporto focale f/4 è stato bello riuscire e scorgere anche le nubi interstellari più deboli. Mi ritengo molto soddisfatto di questo primo risultato e mi auguro il primo di una lunga serie.
Buon Natale a tutti.

For some years I had been thinking about changing the Scopos TL805 refractor, companion of many adventures under starry skies; so after many doubts, postponements and preferring a telescope with a focal ratio as low as possible, given that light pollution often forces me to use narrow-band filters, my choice fell on the Askar 103APO apochromatic triplet with its 0.6X reducer.
And its first light in December could only be the "Great Orion Nebula" also known as "M42" . With the focal ratio f/4 it was nice to be able to see even the faintest interstellar clouds. I am very satisfied with this first result and I hope for the first of a long series.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

This is a revised processing attempt of this year's M42 and tail region in Orion.
South of the Orion Nebula (M42) (rightside of the nebula in this image) is an infrequently imaged region which is a rich star forming molecular cloud. This region is marked with a number of bright and irregularly shaped orange-red color objects which are gaseous jets and outflows caused by energetic young stars. These objects, catalogued as Herbig-Haro (HH) objects - named for astronomers George Herbig and Guillermo Haro, look like red gashes in this region with the largest, HH 222, being the large red arc to the upper left of the blue reflection nebula, IC 427. The stellar jets of these HH objects push through the surrounding gaseous clouds at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per second.
