First Orion of the Year

[NickRose2006]

I'm trying not to upload photos until I get more then 5 hours on a target but I could not help myself with this one. This is the first Orion of the year and the first with the camera with full spectrum mod and LP filter. Here is the link from last years Orion, it was with the unmodded camera and no LP filter: http://stargazerslounge.com/imaging-deep-sky/120066-m42-11-11-10-a.html

Target: Orion Nebula/M42

Telescope: Celestron SP-C6

Mount: Vixen Super Polaris/guided

Camera: Full Spectrum Canon 300D Rebel with CLS Filter

Subs: 14x5min ISO 400, 14x6min Darks, 14 Flats

I'm still needing the shorter subs for the Trapezium.

Gorgeous. I am never disappointed with M42. It is the first DSO I ever saw.

Great image, well done.

Great image. You must have a good location, it will be another month before I can see from my location.

Well its not the best area, I have the San Francisco International Airport to the east and the different cities to the north. The West and South sky's are pretty dark, but I still need the LP filter.

This is the general area that my backyard scope is at. Millbrae Ave - Google Maps
