It's been a while since we had a clear night sky down here in rural Devon, very frustrating as Orion is only really visible during December/January and I've been longing to try to photo the Orion Nebula, another of the Deep Sky Objects visible to the naked eye. -1º but clear so set up my camera on the Polar mount and managed 22 photos before the cloud came back, but it was enough!
For the photographers that might want lot have a go, each of the 22 photos was exposed for 30 seconds at ISO 500, f4 with the zoom out to 500mm.
These 22 were then stacked, post processed in a free program called SIRIL and tweaked in Photos on my laptop and VOILLA!
