I grabbed this 4.5 sec image of the Orion Nebula last Wednesday Night.
I was waiting for the clouds to clear but had no luck so I imaged thru a cloud break.

Cheers

What lens? I can almost see the clouds moving.

Thanks guys,

Bert, I used the Canon 200mm f/2.8 at 1600 ISO.

Asimov, I was getting frustrated and didn't think I would get anything so I took my chances. Well today, using a digital camera, you have nothing to loose do you? Cheers.

Yeh your right Louie it's actually quite bright when you think about it.
