| Description | The Orion Nebula complex is 1,500 light years away and one of the most popular images in the astrophotography canon, but I've never seen it framed quite like this. It fit perfectly in the FOV of my 600mm Askar V with the 294mc-pro camera. My first image of the Coal Car Cluster at the top. |
