Orion nebula

[mpeniak]

A bit too early for imaging this but I could not resist The image is stacked of 6 subs of 30s. Could not go higher in exposure as the nebula was just above streetlights and it visibilty was horrible due to haze I think.

Anyway...this is my first Orion Nebula

Saw this at about 4am, but decided I was FAR too tired to try and image it. You're more hardcore than me mate - great image!

Really pretty Martin, Orion has to be my favourite constellation (mainly cos its the only one i ever remember) look forward to your winter ones and autumn is two weeks early this year it seems as the leaves are already popping off the trees.

[steppenwolf]

Its early and poorly placed for us but you got a nice shot anyway - well done. I love this object as it was the first object I photographed that yealded an image I was even remotely happy with!

That really is an early M42, Martin Insomniac

You must really get 11 out of 10 for effort on that one

So Martin she seduced you good and proper.... lol

Great image... and you can safely say your the first in SGL to catch it since at least spring. Respect for waiting up that long!

Crikey, first an image of the Pleiades appears on SGL, and now M42, you guys are sure in a hurry to drag winter in here early.

Good result though Martin. I hope you don't catch up on your sleep during lectures

Well done..

Is that the first M42 of the season??

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

I'm fairly sure its the first this season, great capture during sleeping time. You don't wear a black cape and sleep in a coffin all day do you Martin?
