Orion Nebula – my 3rd ever attempt.

Used to to photography years ago. Mosty models and motorsport as a hobby. Recently got back into it with my son interested in video. He's been wanting to try his hand at astro so gave it ago in the back garden.

Canon 80D sigma 70-200 f2.8 @ 200mm F/4. 2s exposure time 450 images and 25 dark ISO 1600. cheapo tripod with no tracker. computer is decent so didn't take too long to stack.

Not really know what I'm doing yet but learning more every day. This is our 3rd attempt at the nebula. Used DSS then stretched in photoshop and its cropped about 50%. There is some star trailing but really impressed with what you can get without a star tracker.

Found lots of useful information in this sub so thanks.
