A bit of #astrophotography for a change. The #OrionNebula It is 1,344 ± 20 light-years (412.1 ± 6.1 pc) away and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light-years across (so its apparent size from Earth is approximately 1 degree). It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. (wikipedia)

✨ORION under alpine skies✨

I had three clear nights under dark alpine skies in a row and decided to simply point my camera at the same thing every night. With over 9 h of exposure, this is the most time I've dedicated to a single photo so far.

That could be a first - a telescope (!) looking at the #OrionNebula recorded the fiery #reentry of #Starlink satellite going straight over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJJUz5amEGE&t=677s (with https://twitter.com/Marco_Langbroek/status/1628430380205219840 confirming the ID).

Last night's view of the Orion Nebula from my light polluted backyard.

This is a single 20 second exposure, 300mm, f4.5, ISO 800. Lots of post-processing for contrast and color.

Could have nailed the focus a little better, but I was just doing casual shooting and didn't want to break out the Bahtinov mask.

Das ist bisher meine beste Aufnahme des Orion-Nebels. Da steckt einiges an Vor- und Nachbearbeitung drin.

Aufgenommen habe ich mit einer Canon EOS 600Da / 250mm. 60 Einzelbilder á 60 s, dazu je 30 Darks, Flats und Bias.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #OrionNebula and the #RunningManNebula are 1300+ light years from Earth and are among the brightest objects in the sky. I got eight 3-minute exposures before the clouds came in. This is a rough edit and I will add to the data when I get another brief clear glimpse. #StillLearning

#OrionsSword + #M42 the #OrionNebula taken from Oxfordshire 16th Jan 2023. #WilliamOptics 70mm refractor + astro-modded #Canon1100D on an EQ5 Pro mount. 105 x 30 seconds + 23 darks for the main image, the core was 21 x 8 seconds, all shot at ISO-3200.

The Orion Nebula, a stack of ten 10 second exposures.

First #AstronomySketch using my new #ParallelogramMount for my 15 x 70 #Binoculars of #M42 #OrionNebula It was clear when I set up but clouded over after 4 stars were added; the rest were added 1 star at a time through gaps. It took well over an hour! Black paper + #StabiloCarbOthello #PastelPencils

This is my best yet of M42 (Orion Nebula) taken with an ASI astrocam and tracking scope. This is a crop of photo taken with a 510mm effective scope with focal reducer field flattener 4 substacks LRGB filter wheel and finished off with Photoshop and Lightroom. If you want more technical details, feel free to ask. Hope you like.

This was my first night braving winter temperatures with my telescope. Both the battery and the drive motors held up well at -10°C for an hour and a half but my fingers and toes wouldn't want it any colder. I caught a quick pic of the Orion Nebula with my cell phone at the eyepiece. #OrionNebula, #BackyardAstronony

In the meantime, I added about 4h of H-alpha data to my #OrionNebula. Processing this is quite complicated, as the central region is already so colorful, but I found a nice tutorial by Frank Sackenheim (in German).

La magia del apilado en #astrofotografia
Comparación de una imagen contra 13 imágenes apiladas de M42.
Es una de las pocas nebulosas que pueden observarse a simple vista, incluso desde la ciudad.
Los astrónomos árabes llamaron Nair al Saif que en español significa : "La Espada Luminosa".
