I was going to just get three hours of this and move on to something else, but now it seems promising and I think I'll try to get four more hours tonight. It's IC405, the Flaming Star Nebula. #Astronomy #astrophotography

I'm selling off some of my scope gear and was just looking up info on my Solar filter. I came across this explanation why Orion Telescopes went out of business.
One reason was "Light Pollution". I'll add STARLINK to that also. Tragic. 😢

Dusty Orion
3 weeks ago I got the chance to travel to dark skies for the first time in over 2 years! This is an image of the famous Orion nebula plus the Running Man Nebula, all against a backdrop of dust and gas.
61 x 3 mins (+ 60 x 10 sec exposures for the bright core).
