Description

The goal of this image of the Orion Nebula is to emphasize detail in the nebula while, I hope, keeping the nebula soft and "fluffy". As such the dark dusty regions are, uh, dark. I imaged this with my EdgeHD 9.25" at f/10 to minimize aberrations around the stars, and enlarge the nebula structures.

"Seeing" wasn't great while imaging this, but the weather/seeing has not been very cooperative for the last few months.

Wind returned earlier than predicted and ruined 50 of 90 subs.
