I didn’t
think I’d get to go out again until the spring time, but I sucked it up and
battled the cold! (I also hid in the
car). I drove down to the state park I've been going to for a while first, but the gate was closed to the parking lot, so I drove all the way back
up to the other state park. I was not to be
deterred!
Since it’s winter time, the Great
Nebula of Orion was finally above the horizon!
You can see it even in the telescope as a greenish thing with some
structure. It doesn’t take a very long
image to get color and structure though!
And WOW is it something else!
Unfortunately, it was windy, so I only got six good images of the 180 I
took that night, but here is the stack, at ISO-3200 for 30-second images:
M42 Orion Nebula
Nikon D3100 on my C8
6x30s, ISO-3200
So
amazing!! It got 40 likes on Facebook,
and several comments. Can’t wait to do
better on the next trip!
