The Sword of Orion

Post by ivan »

The Sword of Orion, featuring the running man nebula to the left and the great Orion nebula to the right. Like my horsehead image, this was taken on the same night at Thomson area.

Total exposure time was 45min. Star drift was visible as I did not polar align my mount properly.

Did some further stretching to bring out the details on the outer nebulosity. Here is the result:

Also did some editing to reduce trailing and star bloat.

I miss the place where stars shine bright, to gaze upwards in awe of the sight
