The Orion Nebula 9-24-21

 



Again this is the Orion Nebula. I took shorter exposures in order to reduce the overexposure of the central stars. This is four 200 second subs and five 60 second subs taken at the Darling Hill Observatory in Vesper, NY September 24th, 2021. I used an iOptron CEM40G mount with a Celestron 127Mak f/12 FL 1500mm and a Sony A6600 mirrorless camera.
