Orion nebula

[Kevin Phillips]

Good even all.

After capturing Horses head nebula. Next day I went out and captured Orion same gear and same exposure. Forgot to mention that my camera temp was set at minus 20.

Another good job Kevin.  

It's a good object to image on a wider scale with the Running Man and wider nebulosity.  It needs a mosaic with your scope.  Another interesting challenge!

Season's greetings

That’s a nice image Kevin. Although bright and accessible at this time of the year, Orion is trickier than you might think to image because of the brightness of the central trapezium stars and the fainter wispy nebulosity in the outer parts. You’ve managed that huge contrast well and produced a very nice image. Well done!

Thank you, Tim,

I had no idea there's was a whisper around it in the first place.

Hi all,

I've never spoken on the chat but just wanted to say I have been amazed by the images that get posted and it blows my mind that these are all captured from back garden set ups, the maths behind it all frazzles my brain! 

Anyway, absolutely amazing work, thank you so much for sharing and Merry Christmas to you all.

Best regards, 

Dan.

Hello Kevin
As previously mentioned this is your best image yet of this nebula; and as I've often said your next go at the same image is likely to be better yet, and as none can perfectly portray any object it is easily worth another go.
It's especially better because it looks like you've ameliorated the uneven brightness. Our eyes are not bad at seeing a range of brightness but cameras, be it film or electronic sensors, are poor. The best way to deal with such objects (just about all deepsky) is to merge different exposures; not so easy to do but even Deep Sky Stacker has such a feature.
As we spoke I have an image of the core stars, the Trapezium (A, B, C, D) with just a one second exposure using 900mm and it shows several more stars than just the 4, including E and F, albeit with no discernable nebulae, and even a few seconds would merge E and F into the other two. That'll be your next mission on M42...
Well done and thank you for sharing.
William
