Description

My first real photo of the Orion Nebula. I can only say one thing - WOW. The clouds and formations are breathtaking.

The images are taken in four nights - on 18.12.2020, 01.01.2021, 02.01.2021 and 05.01.2021. Imaging was interrupted by incoming clouds and only on 01.01.2021 I managed to take full 4 hours of the Nebula.

This was a test object for my new mount as well - the CEM70 which I managed to take out on the 2nd of January. Lots to learn on how to optimize guiding and stuff but it will be fun.

My reference image is with star eccentricity of 0.325 - a value which I have never seen with the AVX.

Happy New Year and let's wish for a better Y2021 with lots of good health and lot less to none viruses.
