Hi Everyone, this is my first time posting on Ice In Space!
As a very quick introduction, I'm a 19yo studying Electronic Engineering and currently president of the Astronomy Society at the University of Technology Sydney. I love astronomy and am slowly making my way into Astrophotography.
I thought I'd post a photo I made a couple months back of the Orion Nebula. I don't have any serious gear right now so it was done with a Canon 200D II and a 50mm F1.8 lens (@ F2.8). About nine minutes of exposure with a custom 3D-printed Star Tracker that I made for DIYODE magazine. If you're interested, give it a quick search on Google
This photo is probably somewhat over-processed but I wanted to see just how much colour I could squeeze out of 9 minutes of integration. There is also some nasty pattern noise, perhaps could be fixed with some calibration frames. This was taken in the beautiful Warrumbungle national park earlier this year around February.
Any feedback is welcome!
Cheers everyone
