Thank you very much! And yes, I live in the middle of Denmark's largest city so when I'm out imaging I always stay outside with my kit the entire time which means I'm sometimes limited by the temperatures outside;)

Amazing images and really love that M42 as it is one of  my favourite targets.

I have to say - your dedication to the hobby against backdrop of such light polluted city and being out in the street etc is amazing. I am looking forward to seeing more of your images!

Thank you very much! I look forward to the holidays where I'll be going to my grandma and grandpa who live at a darker location. Hopefully I can improve on my images.

Interesting to see the photos from this setup as I'm looking into getting something pretty similar. 😀

I'll probably start with the SW Star Adventurer Pro before getting a scope, and see what I can produce with my D750 + sharp 70-200mm lens. 🙂👌

Great work and thank's for posting. 👍

Thank you! You should get really good results even without a scope. Here's one I took with a 50mm prime lense:

Since I received my little Evostar this summer I've been using it as much as I could almost forgetting my 10" dob at times because of my time limitations at the current moment. The little scope has never disappointed and I've both had the joy of observing Saturn and Jupiter while also taking a couple images with it when the weather would allow for it which it really hasn't the entire november almost.

I was excited to try and get my first shot of the nebulosity in the Pleiades and the Running man nebula together with the Orion nebula while still keeping my expectations a little low since I live in a bortle 7-8 area.
I hope you enjoy the final results:

M45: 27X1min 800ISO, Nikon D3300
M42: 60X1min 800ISO, Nikon D3300

Everything mounted on my star adventure mount that I've started to love even more:)

Feedback is of course strongly appreciated!

Clear skies!

I know I'm a little late to the party but I hope you're okay with me taking the liberty to process your Pleiades image a little more. You have actually captured more nebulosity than you think! I wasn't convinced at first that that was all the detail you've got for M45 so well done for only 27 minutes of data:)

That's impressive! Well done;) I am often limited by ugly gradients when stretching my data captured from home because of light pollution but you've handled it surprisingly well
