Description

This is my very first attempt at deep sky astrophotography.
I chose to start with the Orion Nebula as I heard it is one of the easiest Nebulae to start. There is a bit of the Running Man Nebula in there but its not very clearly visible due to light pollution. I dont have a tracker and i took this photo in a heavily light polluted area in the middle of the city center.
I went for 241 frames of 1'' each with my Sony A7II with an ISO of 3200 and a Vintage Manual lens that i have, the Vivitar 75-205 f/3.8. I also took 20 Darks and 20 Flats. Stacked them all inside sequator and processed with photoshop and starnet++ v2.
Although the darks of the image came out darker than i want them, I think overall its a good first try.
