Description

After collecting light for another project, I decided to take a few shots of the Great Orion Nebula with the Optolong L-Extreme filter. Only the first 25 images were fine. After that, the optical train got a little soggy and I had to stop capturing images. I basically took pictures while the sun was rising. Still, for only 25min and images being taken during sunrise, the final stacked image came out kinda nice :-)
