Description

The Orion Nebula is a well-known diffuse nebula located in the region of the sword in the Orion contellation. Shot with an OSC camera under the Bortle 4 skies of the Colorado Front Range, elevation 2560 meters. This is one of the first targets I shot with my cooled OSC camera and is comprised of 15, 30, 60, and 180-second subs to capture the wide range of brightnesses in this target.
