Amazing

Hi!
I thought I'd share this. I got a bit interested in astronomy and finally decided to get me a 5''Vixen Newtonian. While being new to observing it I have some background in physics, astrophysics, CCD etc

So to fill the time I got my old DLSR out, and took a few shots of Orion on a tripod and stacked them with 'DeepSkyStacker'. I did that in my backyard in the city, not expecting too much from it. What an amazing outcome, I can see stars to mag 9, and the Orion nebulae shows as well. Wouldn't have thought that's possible.

I am blown away what a simple tele zoom on a 4/3 camera can do!
