quick morning orion

[Yamez]

didn't have much time this morning so the first image is a stacked image consisting of 40x8s exposures at ISO 1600 with 20 Darks at 55mm's. The second image is a quick 25 second exposure at 18mm's. Both are horribly processed in Photoshop. Camera was a Nikon D3300 with 18-55mm lens. Thanks for looking and feedback is always welcome

Nice work! The nebulous regions really jump out  Is that a meteor streak in the second photo? An Orionid, perhaps?

Aaaah, the majestic Orion. I love widefields and the first one is really nice! Nice job!

I do like wide field.

Focus is much better on the second image.

You could try adding flats might help with the slight vignetting.

I would have done but was very rushed for time, only just managed to fit in darks.
