The Orion Nebula (M42), M43, and The Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977) in Orion

Hi all,

Another image taken at JohnG's place.

I was really cold, and, my telescope had dewed up, and, wanted to go to bed.

Still, I thought I'd share the image with you to show the potential of this magnificent new 5" refractor. This is only 30 minutes of data. I hope to build upon it when this region is culminating.

For 30 minutes of exposure, I think I've done well to tame any noise. Yes, I can see the satellite trail -- I didn't have enough data to perform a proper/aggressive data rejection stack and couldn't be bothered with cloning it out. This is a test image.

I have a long while to go before I exhaust a DSLR imaging device.

Read and view here.

Comments, critique, etc., welcome.

Regards,
Humayun
