Description

A mixture of 10 and 300 second exposures in an effort to correctly expose the core but also to capture the dusty surroundings.
Still not sure that I've got it right but fairly happy with it but I have a feeling that this project will last a long time as more data is captured

10 sec x 31
300 sec x 17

The Orion Nebula is a naked eye feature in Orion's "Sword" in the constellation of Orion.
The feature is c. 1344 light years away and c. 24 light years wide.
