M42 - Great Orion Nebula

Sky-Watcher Mercury 70/500 AZ3
canon 1100D
iso 1600
exposure 42min in total , 1sec per frame

Wow lot of work, cannot believe 42 min at 1 sec!!!  Lot of patience keyboardBlondie.  I though I had some work on my hands.  I took 400 times 1.6 second for a merly 10 minutes lol.  Good work, there is a lot of data in that picture for sure.

Somehow i missed your comment in timeline - yeah without tracking mount you can barely take exposures over 1sec. , in most cases i take 10min sessions to see if nebulas will be visible at all, in this case of course i didn't  have to worry about it. Was experimenting on iso 1600 vs my usual iso 3200 on it.

And that picture has a lot of info in it that's for sure - recently was playing around with tiff file and noticed the Runnig man nebula is barely but visible as well on it. Maybe will return for Running man nebula later with higher iso or when I get some tracking equipment.
