Orion Nebula

This was one of my very first attempts.

A few different levels of ISO and exposure time to capture the details.

Hi Jimmy,
Not too bad for a first attempt, good detail in the trap at the core.
This is something that most first attempts loose as it's so bright.
What did you shoot it with, Camera scope, exposure times etc.
Your stars look pretty round, tell us about your setup.

Great work Jimmy !

Looks great!

What camera did you use?

[Cimitar (Evan)]

Nice colours and a good HDR balance

Next time you image M42 you may be able to rotate your camera (assuming it's a DSLR of course) and you could probably almost squeeze the Running Man Nebula in too

Cheers, Evan

That's a pretty good blend for an early attempt. So easy to lose all the brightness of the core when trying to show the Trapezium. Nice one
