Description

My first succesful attempt at the Orion Nebula! I shot 129 photos with various exposure times and ISO settings. 20 photos of 15 seconds exposure at ISO 6400 turned out to be good enough to stack.

Special thanks to AstroBin user Bas Wientjes (@bwientjes) who gave me great advice on reasons why my deep-sky photography attempts failed. Check out his M42 shot here: http://www.astrobin.com/154271/B/
