Description

This is M42 taken with the same setup as for the belt stars. I was rather surprised as to how much of the nebula's glow could be captured by the camera using only a tripod as the mount. In the future, I think I'll try a polar-aligned clock mount for the camera ... even 30 seconds of exposure would offer many more stops given the amount of light available, but tracking has to be done to prevent star streaks. Like the belt stars photo, this photo was taken with the Canon EOS 20D's black-and-white mode, using green filtering, which acts to limit the amount of noise from the CMOS image sensor.
