Description

Got a little time in on Orion last night. Should have been more, but instead of telling the software 150 exposures, I put in 50. Still turned out very nice.
I've mentioned before that generally speaking, I don't like to post "starless" pics, but I'm gonna make an exception with this (I'll actually put both out here). The starless version really brings out the detail in all the dust and gas clouds - I really find digging into it fascinating.
This is a pretty wide-field shot of Orion's "Sword" including the famous "Great Orion Nebula" among other goodies.
