Description

This is the 1st good image that I've photographed with my new Deep Sky Imager. 52 frames(30 seconds each) were stacked to get this almost-perfect shot of the Orion Nebula-M42! Haven't had many good nights lately to image much else! This starbirth cloud is around 1600 light-years away. Hope to bring you more...if it ever clears up!! ***Thanks For Looking*** **Rick**

Stunning Capture!... Most Excellent First Try!... Looking Forward to More!... What Kind of Imager and Scope? I Looked for an Adapter for "Camera to Scope" and They Were $130, But, You can Buy an Imager With CCD Camera/Attachments/Cables and Software Was Only $150! I just Made an Adapter for 50 cents But it's Been to Cloudy to Try it.

Nice image - was this done with the Mead DSI? What scope were you using? Another trick you might try is to take a few shorter exposures and combine them with the longer ones to help show the trapezium which typically gets washed out. Thanks for sharing.

Situated below Orion' belt. From what I understand, you can see it with the naked eye. But I live in the suburbs and makes it very hard to see.
