Upper Sword
Images
The third of four pictures from my shakedown/first light test of the new rig. This is M42 (Great Orion Nebula), M43, and NGC1977 (Running Man Nebula) otherwise known as 'Orion's sword.' About 45 minutes of total integration time.

My first deep space photograph from the new place. Orion was absolutely stunning this morning as it hung low in the horizon. This was pure camera equipment only - no tracking. Just tripod, Sony Alpha 6300, and an F/2 135mm Samyang lens.

I took another stab at processing the data for this beautiful area of the sky and was not disappointed!

This bright area of the Orion constellation doesn't take many exposures to reveal the intricate details. This is just 10 3-minute exposures but it was enough.
