Orion Nebula With a Star Adventurer

[ruskclark]

This is a recent edit of data I collected back in January. Image is taken with a Canon 450Da and Canon EF L 70-200mm f/2.8 lens sitting on a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer. It’s quite a large crop from a 200mm frame. 25 x 3 min guided subs. Stacked in SiriL and processed in Photoshop. Image taken in Northumberland under Bortle 3 skies.

Would be interesting to see the full frame.

I'll put it up when I'm home. It won't quite match as when I edited the above I did it from scratch after cropping the area of interest I wanted to concentrate on so the look and feel is different.

Here’s the full frame.

Quite lovely and the (candifloss) nebulosity is great.  Rotated left 90 degrees provides a view easier to appreciate on a computer screen. Makes me want to dig out the 135mm lens I purchased a while back to try a bit of wider field - but never got round to doing!

Yeah, this is the version that was on my phone that I use for my screen wallpaper 😂

Was really pleased to get such a good result out of the Star Adventurer.

This looks amazing! Pushes me towards getting a star adventurer as my goto system seems to have a mind of it's own lately, it's amazing the difference tracking can make!

Thanks a lot, love this frame of Orion and 3min subs at 200mm really is achievable with the Star Adventurer.
