Description

My first time photographing the Orion Nebula, and what got me into the hobby to begin with.

The weather in Seattle has been very fickle, so I had to make do with a full moon while acquiring the data for this image.

Overall pretty happy with how it turned out for a first attempt. I finally seemed to have pretty solid polar alignment and tracking, too.
