Almost my last for the year Orion with 200mm

[Garyh]

Hi everyone
Been away for a little around chrissy and arrived home just in time for the skies to clear and get some shots off ....
The skies were super clear and dark so I did a widefield of orion with my 200mm f/2.8. Been wanting to try a deep one of this for a while and I got my chance a few nights back.

File is about 350ks in size.

Everyone have a great New year!

cheers and CS
Gary

your 200mm lens - -WOW I like the result just wished I could get the same. Nice one to cap the year off unless your going for a m33 and tuttle shot tonight

Thanks Houghy ,
Actually last night a tried for a Tuttle and Holmes widefield but alas the clouds returned right on dark!
Holmes was actually still just visible naked eye but barely! and Tuttle through my 12x50s. Don`t like my chances on clear skies tonight...
Oh exposure details are 10 x 6min at iso 400 at f/3.2
cheers
