The Great Orion Nebula
The Great Orion Nebula, originally uploaded by ThinkingCamera.
Winter is arriving very fast and Orion was rising above the roof of the old railway engine sheds I can see from my garden, so although it was still quite low in the sky, I had to try to “grab” the great Orion nebula again (M42).
I took literally hundreds of exposures from 5sec to one minute and “HDR” combined them before processing carefully in PixInsight and Photoshop. This is the best image of this magnificent star-forming area I have made to date.
