Description

Orion Nebula with my Star Adventurer and Canon 77d Mod. January skies at my location in So Idaho have been completely uninviting. I did notice a possible breakthrough on Jan 24 and planned on getting some decent integration time. I found a nice large opening in the southern sky and set the remote timer for 50 frames. But it was all for not when the cloud break quickly shut down allowed me only 10 usable light frames. ISO was set at 3200 and exposure time was 12 secs. My aperature was set wide open at 2.8 and I stacked the resultant mix in DSS and finalized in PSCS.

No darks, flats or bias frames taken. Prior to DSS, Raw Conversion performed in AdobeCameraRaw (Roger Clark)
