Description

The Orion Nebula is very bright and therefore a popular destination for photographers. But especially the brightness makes it difficult to get a decent picture. Therefore you have to expose the core and the outer structures separately and combine the images. Furthermore an H-alpha filter makes sense to photograph the fine nebula structures. I hope you like the picture.
