Description

The Great Orion Nebula is one of the most popular and recognizable targets, given it is large, bright, easy to find in the distinctive Orion constellation and beautiful. There always seems to be one more level: a narrowband filter, a longer exposure, or a wider field of view. This season I chose speed. Last night, we had a rare break in the winter rains at Newport with clear skies. I only used two hours with my Hyperstar. I took mostly 30-second exposures to avoid oversaturation, but scattered in a few 60-second frames to blend in more detail. I image both with and without the Optolong L-Extreme filter. This a 510mm view of Orion and the Running Man.
