Description

After a long period of clouds and fog hiding all the beautiful large winter objects, I finally got a chance to shoot the Orion nebula before the end of the season. The Astronomik UHC filter proved surprisingly effective with an OSC camera, allowing me to catch details of the nebulosity despite shooting in the direction of the gibbous moon. Obviously color balance is far from natural, but all in all I am positively surprised by the result.

Description: I realized that the color balance is much more natural without (!) PI's photometric color calibration.
