Dark, clear skies in Swan Hill last night, spur of the moment put the telescope on the back decking. Happened to land upon the Orion nebula. What a magnificent creation. ETX 125 with 26mm plossl, no cooling down time, no nebula filters, yet I was blown away by the beauty of it. First nebula that I have seen( always thought one needed special filters and big aperture ). Who needs colour photography, the natural colours of white and grey was magnificent? Can anyone recommend other nebulae worth viewing au naturale?
