Orion Nebula

[philsail1]

Here is my first effort at a single frame "Afocal" shot of the Orion Nebula tonight at 19.03pm, through my Celestron C8i Schmitt Cassegrain, using a Celestron "E-Lux" 40mm Plossl (without Barlow). Very clear sky. Taken with my canon A570is Digicamera, set on 15 secs exposure, F2.6 + 2 further stops. ISO 200. Auto White Balance. Colour set to "vivid." It is unprocessed.

Very nice Phil

It's like an EP view with Colour...which isn't suprising really as thats exactly what it is...

Many thanks for your kind comments chaps!

(This Astrophotography is a (very) slow learning curve for me!).
