Description

M42 / NGC 1976 - The Orion Nebula

Treated Stella to some more instellar photons the other night, capping off my third session with the new 6D on this gorgeous DSO. This camera is a low-light beast. Discovered a new port wine while I was at it, too. Perfect for those chilly autumn nights under the stars. Cheers!
