Since 2018 I have been taking prime focus astro photos of M42 (Orion Nebula) with my Nikon D3200 and Orion 127 Mak-Cass. Here is the series so far:

Nice images Reggie.   Have you assigned a new name to your observatory?

Thanks, Adam. Actually, I was using GCENTRAL exclusively for my astro photos before but decided for the new decade to use my observatory name as a tag instead.  Do you have a particular favorite of the images?

2019 would be my favourite, stars seems roundest and trapezium is nicely defined

I agree. I think the 2020 shot got slightly out of focus. I may try again on the next clear night, but so far I consider the 2019 image the best! ;)

Nice work. The 2019 is definitely the best. I would try stacking multiple images. That would certainly bring out more detail

Thanks, Michael. This is one of my favorite nebulae to image :)
