Description

This is the 19.715 image of M42 at AstroBin and the 13.029 image of IC434 (status as of 3th Dec 2022). But that did not stop me from putting the 19.716 M42 and 13.030 IC434 version on AstroBin ! It is one of the most beautiful and impressive star regions that can be photographed here in Europe.

So, I used the dark sky at the Baltic Sea during our autumn vacations on the Darß. The image was taken by using the Optolong L-eXtreme narrow band filter. Unfortunately, filterless frames were no longer possible due to the looming fog and clouds. So, also only scarcely 2 hours of total exposure time came together.
The fog and the clouds also produced some very pronounced halos around the brightest stars especially the Orion belt. But that's exactly what creates a wonderful glow that I don't want to deprive you of. The used Samyang 135mm F2 lens allowed imaging of the dense hydrogen clouds in this region, giving the image a really nice and deep depth. Have a look at the starless version which highlights this.

I hope you like it! I look forward to your feedback and comments.
