Description

This weekend I got some pictures of the Orion Nebula before it sets for the summer. I intended to get a longer integration time, but some unexpected clouds came in on day 2 only about 2 hours into my session. This picture was taken from the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus which is under Bortle 8 skies, and this weekend happened to be close to a full moon, so I was really fighting my way through the sky. I am still very happy with this result.
