Photographing the Orion Nebula!
The Orion Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and is visible to the naked eye. It lies 1,500 light-years away from Earth and can be found just south of Orion's belt in the constellation Orion.
This magnitude 4 interstellar cloud of ionized atomic hydrogen contains a young open cluster of four primary stars known as the Trapezium. M42 is a fantastic beginner astrophotography subject to capture with your DSLR camera and telescope.
The final image includes 45 x 4-minutes in h-alpha, and 40 x 2-minutes in broadband RGB. I also applied a subtle layer of existing data (shorter RGB exposures) to blend into the core.

Hey, I’m just a random person from the internet, but wanted to say I feel for you. The lockdown has been a struggle for me too, beyond the normal season depression I deal with. But this channel was also a huge part of why I recently took up astronomy, and it’s been such a beautiful, life-affirming way reach out beyond my suffering and feel connected to the universe. The fact that every object in the night sky is shining its light right down at me actually makes me feel very big, and connected to my world. Keep looking up, and always ask for help if you need it. There are many organizations and people who devote their lives to, and derive great joy from helping those who suffer, in the mind or otherwise. Best wishes.

@stevenbriggs7535 3 года назад

Amazing and beautiful image so inspiring. I have a quick question about your raptor setup. What hardware have you have used to mount your finder scope to the raptor. I’m struggling to find a way to mount a red dot and guide scope to my Redcat 51.

@SunJao 3 года назад

I had the same issue. I ended up drilling M6 sized through holes in dovetail base brackets. Then I attached the base brackets to the Raptor 61 rings using M6 screws I purchased from the hardware store. The brackets have quick release screws to hold the guide scope. It is quite stable and has low flexure steady guiding.

@Guido_XL 3 года назад

I often simply take my Celestron 20x80 binoculars and peer towards M42. Just after I got my neck sore from staring at M31 Andromeda. That's at evenings when the weather is simply not good enough for the effort to take out my 190/1000 Mak-Newt.

@Guido_XL 3 года назад

@@astrojourneyuk Well, you can see many objects out there with the naked eye. Away from urban light pollution, I can also see M31 Andromeda with the naked eye, although it only looks like a faint cloud. You probably mean to say "with the naked eye", as "visually" indicates the act of peering through an eyepiece of a telescope or binoculars, in contrast to astrophotography, where a camera is replacing the human eye. But I have to totally agree with you: M42 never ceases to amaze.

@helmuthschultes9243 3 года назад

Agree that here in Melbourne Australia we are spoiled for great sky views like Orion and many others. My poor view equivalent is M31 Andromeda, that barely is 10° from North horizon. Best seen from Northern Territory here.

@Guido_XL 3 года назад

Last December, I could see M31 Andromeda with the naked eye, almost at zenith. When I take my Celestron 20x80 binoculars, look to Cassiopeia and then to Mirach, I can easily find M31 in between. It gives me a sore neck, though ;) So, to compensate for this, I pan towards Orion and M42. Not now though, we are suffering from heavy clouding lately. Perhaps this weekend will be better.

It'll take some time though cause I'm just a beginner and starting my journey.

You view the million-dollar homes first (your videos) and then when it comes to actually make the purchase, it's just a modest small home that needs some fixing up. I have to remind myself that I am not tech-savvy and struggle with software programs for pic editing. And being disabled I don't have the ability to deal with long hour cold temp photography in the winter.

Never been able to see it naked eye where I live. I can barely even see the stars around where its located at. Even orions belt is not very bright and somewhat hard to spot! The light pollution is INSANELY BAD where I live. The moon being fully out or not doesnt even make a difference because of how bad the light pollution is. really sucks :( I cant even see orion nebula with binoculars. Even with a 4-inch telescope its extremely hard to spot and very very faint. almost not visible at all. South carolina orangeburg is like the worst places in the world for viewing stars The streetlights are blindingly bright and hurt your eyes. At least 1 or 2 streetlights in your field of view in all directions. for miles and miles! Cant even see andromeda either without a minimum of a 4-inch telescope. Pleiades cluster is extremely hard to spot naked eye. with no distinct stars visible in it. its very lackluster with binoculars. Only starts looking interesting with a good size telescope.

I’m just starting out, strictly visual for now but man, the first time I slewed to the Orion Nebula it absolutely sucked all the breath from my lungs and even now I just can’t explain the raw richness of emotion that hit me. And even though I just have a 90’s Celestron C8 I got off some far out dude on Craigslist, and it was black and white in the eyepiece, in Bortle 4 skies with poor seeing, without anywhere the contrast or detail of these photos, the impact those ageless photons had as they hit my retina is absolutely beyond what language can convey. What a beautiful image dude, you really are a master. I’m looking forward to taking on astrophotography, although my bank account isn’t. But for now, the magic of finding objects and admiring them as-is, in real-time, is as much as my soul can bear.

Another great video. At 11:35 there are the color and mono images shown. Have you been able to separate out the small and big setups and say this is the best from either before the result is blended together? Color is an important part of the result but does it need to be a full resolution or can it paint (suggest) color over the luminance layer, sort of color binned 2x2 with luminance?
