Messier 42 - The Orion Nebula

(Edited)


Hey Steemians,

Already a week since my last post... Time is flying by!

Even though there was a full moon, I collected some photons from the Orion Nebula. Unfortunately, the weather had scotched my plans. As soon as everything was set up, the fog and then the clouds came. In 2 nights I could reach only 90 minutes exposure time. Fortunately, the nebula is so bright that you can see a lot of details even with relatively short exposure time. The processing was done a little bit more intense and was done as HDR, to pop out the details.
More exposure time would have helped with the core and would have made the fine nebulae in the background even more visible.

Let's hope the next winter will give me the chance to get at least 10 hours of exposure time. The plan is to combine the H-alpha and the OIII data then with the RGB data that I already have.

Für zwei #steemstem posts muss ich noch Bilder bearbeiten und den Text schreiben.
Danach wird es wohl eine "Wartungspause" geben. Vielleicht kommt währenddessen ja trotzdem was zustande. Zur Galaxy-Season wollte ich dann alle Lager- und Getriebespiele eingestellt haben.

Gorgeous photo!!! I'm going to try my hand at beginners astrophotography later this year. I'll be following your posts from now on! Also I just wrote a post last night coincidentally covering many of the features that can be found in the Orion constellation. I'm going to add a comment on my post that everyone should jump over and take a look at your photo for a fantastic shot of M42/43 and Running Man.

Spectacular. It almost looks like a developing organism in a web. Maybe that's because I just left @whatisnew's blog on the Life Cycle of a Fall Webworm Moth
In the sky, and on the ground: so many image to astonish.
Happy New Year.
