Orion Nebula 2

60 seconds at ISO 3200 then ran through NeatImage to reduce the noise.

I don't see many of these outside of the NASA or JPL site. Surrealistic look is great!

Great photo.

pity there is no EXIF data

Wonderful !!!

Very well done.

Nicely done. This is a phenominal image. Could you see the nebula with the naked eye, or, could only the media capture it? Did you employ prime or afocal focusing? I have a 1200mm f11 schmidt casselgrain reflector and am interested in doing more astrophotography. A little something more than moon shots.

 

Any tips?

Duane, Yes you can see M42 with the naked eye or a pair of binoculars. You cannot see the red color but you can make out the grayish nebulocity. The key is to keep the telescope perfectly lined up for long exposures. This link might help you: http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/astro/index-e.html

John, Thanks for the feedback. I will be giving this a try. Again Thanks.

Fantastic shot!, but I think that you have been let down a little by the quality of the scan.

Nice detail! Cropped a little tight, perhaps.
