Orion and Running Man Nebula

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would post this photo of the Orion Nebula that I took with my new Skywatcher ED120 Black Diamond telescope. I have still to sort out the core and I need another night to get some more subs for this but since taking the photo we have hardly had any clear nights here in Brisbane so I'm having to wait.

Anyway the photo is around an hour of exposure with a mixture of 90s and 30s subs at ISO 2000. I did take some 15 sec subs at ISO 400 for the core but I didn't catch enough of the core to add this into the photo. I may need to do some 20 or 30s subs at IS0 400 for the core instead. The camera was a Canon 6D with a Astronomik light pollution filter added. The mount was an AZEQ6.

I'm pretty happy with this so far but will be more happier once I get the core sorted out.

Regards,

Tom
