Description

Not "stellar" work as astrophotography goes, but quite incredible for a gathering of relatives or friends to jointly experience the heavens.  This is the flame nebula in Orion and is often taken in the same wide field as the Horsehead Nebula.  This is missing a lot of detail, but that's to be expected with 10 second exposures.   Will try to experiment next with "advanced mode" with longer subs.   It's an interesting technology, but I will not rely upon for serious astrophotography.
