Orion nebula

I attached a DSLR camera to a giant refractor telescope to photograph the Orion Nebula. Here are my early results using the William Optics Fluorostar 132.

Salmonick Atelier is formed by Teun van der Zalm. He is an artist who use particles to create beautiful rendered 3D nebulae for games, VFX films & series and fulldome planetarium shows.

The constellation of Orion is rich with impressive nebulas. Of the many interesting details that particularly draws the eye is Barnard's Loop, the bright red circular filament arcing down from the middle. The bright orange star on the upper left is Betelgeuse, while the bright blue star on the lower right is Rigel. Other famous nebulas visible include the Witch Head Nebula, the Flame Nebula, and the comparatively small Horsehead Nebula. NASA-APOD, Stanislav Volskiy.

If you thought it was just one rich region in space, look deeper and wider.

The moon was 2/3 full and about 20 degrees away. I couldn't run very long exposures or high iso, but still I think this is my best effort so far. Still a work in progress, but getting there. Imaged with a CLS_CCD filtered canon 7D and 100-400mm lens at 400mm riding piggy back on Meade 8" LX200 classic…
