Description

It's been years since I aimed my big scope at the Orion Nebula, and the brief opening in the February clouds allowed me to give it another try. There's so much going on in this vast region of space and it's such a challenge of both faint detail & extreme brightness, so much as to be visible with the naked eye. While imaging, I was also viewing with my Dobsonian, going back and forth between the eyepiece and the preview screen.
