The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. Also known as M42, it is one of the brightest Nebula and is visible with the naked eye.

It was really starting to cloud over making the stars less visible. Oh well, it was a fun night even though my toes were freezing.

Welcome back, Orion! Changing seasons means the winter constellations are returning. This stacked photograph was taken with a Canon R5, 400m lens, and 1.4 teleconverter on an iOptron Skyguider Pro.
2 Nébuleuses visibles, deux presque détectables...
Ciel pollué (et surtout trop humide) à l'horizon.
Pas de guidage, une seule prise.
Algunos pensaréis que he volteado la foto, pues no, es la costumbre que a veces tiene el gato de girar la cabeza y así lo capté.
Gracias a todos por visitar mi galería, por vuestros favoritos y comentarios.

I long for the days when I had a constitution of steel, driven to climb all of the peaks arrayed before me, and all the other compass points I could turn and look out at from this vantage point. This place has long been a favorite spot to break out my gear and look for compositions, whether as part of the longer hike south of me, or as a destination for a shorter outing. This morning the sun has gained on me, low in winter trajectory and casting its shadows as it clears the ridges behind me. Its burn highlights the iron oxide in an erratic deposited here in the pleistocene, as the massive ice sheets sculpted the Adirondack dome. North Country lore is sprinkled with iron. Furnaces and ore pits still stand in parts of the landscape, a history hinted at in my reddish-tinged granite boulder, posing on the verge of the Ausable Valley. I’ve been fortunate to have explored so much of America’s wildness; this country stands as hard as any landscape I’ve been in, and it hardens those willing to return after being scathed. Switchbacks were mostly unheard of up here, so topping these mountains is as much a matter of iron will as physical prowess. I have a long and chequered history of loves, romantic and spiritual, each accusing the other of time spent devoting my fidelities elsewhere. My regrets haunt me still. Rock will wear smooth, the forests will darken, iron will rust, and youth fades. The heart never concedes.
Nebulas in Orion, a first attempt. A few things to fix, but I still enjoy the result!
Happy New Year!
Peace and Cheers!

A trio of EMDs (IC 6251, CN 6021, IC 6264) spot ore cars at Dock 6 in West Duluth under a colorful sunset.
Union Pacific SD40-2 “snoot” No. 3249 pulls a train of 100-ton iron ore hoppers through Spanish Fork, Utah the morning of Feb. 21, 1988. The OGVCM originated at Geneva Steel and will reload at Comstock on the Iron Mountain Branch west of Cedar City, Utah.
Orion is getting higher in the sky at the moment, so this is an early non HDR edit, more data will hopefully be added to this over summer. 135mm Sigma at f/2, D810A, 600 second subs, processed in APP and Photoshop.

First Orion and first interaction with Pixinsight, this programme is a whole new level!
Shooting in -12 degreec C didn't turn out to be easy, though clear sky and long nights are a big opportunity for good shots.

An ore wagon at Bodie, California. Bodie is a former gold mining town east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and north of Mono Lake. It once had a population of about 10,000. Only about 5 percent of the town remains. It became a California State Historic Park in 1962 and is maintained in a state of "arrested decay".
Just an attempt to photograph the Orion Nebula here in the big city. Clearly the sky is actually too brightly illuminated here to obtain more structure.

I thought I could have another go at the Orion Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula as in the moring it is getting high enough to photograph over the roof in the bck yard. After getting my framing and starting a planned sequence it went wrong straight away as the targets started to move behind a satellite dish. And when I checked my shots later, everthing from the other camera was out of focus (must remember the Canon 300mm f2.8 shifts focus when the orientation is changed!) So I only had one useable 12 minute exposure from the D810A and 300mm lens. This is cropped for framing but also to remove the satellite dish! Yes, I know the bright part of Orion is overexposed, but I actually like this look.
