Orion Nebula on a perfect British night

[jimness]

Just saw this in April's S@N magazine. Absolutely stonking image and a great advert for Orion and Nikon! I shall be examining your processing write-up with great interest - many thanks for that.

Absolutely stunning.

[purdo]

WOW!!  Everything else has been said.

[Beulah]

I am stunned. All that data with a DSLR?!

You, Ma'am, are a genius.

Anna,

You have done incredibly well with this image! The processing is absolutely flawless!

Well yes. Or rather YES! I'm a CCD nut but you have caught a remarkable amount of outlying dust and that is not someting we see in many DSLR images. And you caught it without an insanely fast F ratio, too.

Chapeau, as they say in these parts!!

Awww thanks guys! I was quite pleased with the image as I really don't do much DSLR work and then to get Photo of the Month with it (just as we are moving back to America) was a superb way to cap my astro-imaging here in England! I appreciate all your comments and I will still be hanging around the forum even through I am moving across the pond (if you will have me still!)

Wow. My jaw is on the floor. Incredible

[petergc]

Wow... Simply wow

Beautiful image - I lost 5 mins or so just looking into it....

[twintin]

That is awesome, hard to believe it's really up there.

[Pete Presland]

[guiseppe]

Great Scott! That image is beyond words. Incredible.

[Mr Bergman]

Wonderful image, impressive! Nice to see a fellow dslr user come up with images like this!!

Are you sure your DS7000 wasn't located somewhere in orbit ? That's an epic picture from any standpoint. What a great lesson... What are your views in mono images ? Although I like colour, somehow, I seem to prefer mono for some dso's.... Your views ? Perhaps when you have time, you might turn your Nikon to this task ?

[antimorris]

Steve - Ah I can only dream of having a nice little orbiting location where I can sit above the earth and image and look down on our blue orb. Thanks so much for your comments (and everyone else - you guys are flooring me). I do occasionally keep it to mono imaging when I do ccd imaging, never reverted it to mono with the few DSLR images I have done. Might give it a try on the next one

Amazing imaging Anna !

I have not done imaging but appreciate this very much, Its a stunning image of an amazing bit of sky.  When observing this nebula I love to remember images as detailed as this, it helps to increase perception and appreciation of the structure.  

Thanks for posting it, you must be proud of it....and justifiably so

[Christopher Davenport]

Wow.

[andyo]

[prokyon]

Absolutely Stunning Image. I saw your image in the new Sky At Night magazine i bought today. I'm just starting out this year, and I really take lots of inspiration from this. Thanks for sharing it with us.
