A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

The Great Orion Nebula (M42)🌌. The Orion constellation, is one of the brightest and closest star-forming regions to Earth. It spans about 24 light-years across and is approximately 1,344 light-years away. The Nebula is notable for it's vibrant colors and the presence of young stars, making it a key area of study in astrophysics.
I Captured it last Monday just before my surgery, processed with Siril. I removed some Stars on the 2nd picture :). Only 25 stacked exposures at 100s each—
proof that even short sessions can create something magical.

@FotoVorschlag es ist 'Verblüffend' was sich trotz der heftigen Lichtverschmutzung (und dem/n Flugverkehr und Satelliten) doch noch beobachten lässt.

Finally got around to processing M42 in narrowband from February. My flats routine wasn't very good this time, so this is heavily cropped. Also had some mechanical issues that I didn't notice since I was trying out a homebrew autofocuser, so some stars are a little long. On top of all that, some stars in the center are overcooked so, more to do next year!

Color is H-alpha, Sii, and Oiii mapped to their actual wavelength so this is "true color"...sort of. #astrophotography #M42 #orionnebula

I think I hit the sweet spot for long exposure. Not too smudgey but lots of color/depth. Mind you this was taken with a manual dob and a smartphone. 🥴
