Description

Orion Nebula photographed from my deck in Auckland, New Zealand, on the night of Dec 28, 2016.

7x 300 second exposures (with 13 darks) + 6x 60 second exposures (with 10 darks). No flats or bias frames. Stacked in DSS then combined in PS using pretty basic levels and curve adjustment plus colour balancing.

This is my very first deep-sky photograph so I'm pretty amazed it's come out as well as it has!
