Here is my latest image from last night! The great Orion Nebula (m42)

It sits at a distance of about 1400 light years from Earth, and is a great stellar nursery. Stars are born here!!

Taken with my 200mm newt at f3.8. This is only 39 minutes total exposure time 🤯

@astrostace Good heavens that's clear - what an outstanding shot. Well done. I tried to shoot that once with my camera and a zoom lens and got a blue blob. ;)

@astrostace great result for only 39 minutes, which is about the sum total of Uk clears skies in January so far 🙂
