Description

I get a limited view of Orion from my back garden and it only just makes it above the neighbouring houses. It is indeed a beautiful target and one which I would love to spend more time imaging. The night these subs were made was early January and unbelievably clear and still. So still in fact that my then under-mounted 200PDS Newtonian behaved immaculately (for once!) Although I have not imaged this target before I chose to shoot in narrow band than the more usual broadband.
