Description

M42/NGC 1976 - The Orion Nebula

Stayed up late to get my first glimpse of the season of M42. I set everything up to run for 2 hours, but didn't realize I had a cable laid out wrong. Wound up yanking the USB out of the camera after about 40 minutes, haha. A mug of coffee instead of whiskey probably would have made the difference here.

Camera: Canon EOS 6D, unmodified
