Description

No telescope (camera only) astrophotography... Last night, after photographing the moon, I had trouble finding focus and with limited time didn't waste time. I brought in the telescope and swapped to my "primitive" setup of Sony AR7 IV with Samyang 135mm lens on the tripod. Because I was not guiding, I kept exposures down to 2.5 seconds and raised the ISO levels to 2000. I took about 10 minutes total exposures and captured this. Added some annotations for context. Includes: Orion Nebula, De Mairan's Nebula, Running Man Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Flame Nebula, and Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula (M42, M43, M78, and friends).
