#hobby update! (Again)

During the Xmas days skies were clear, automated shizzle was done. Magic happened.

I did several projects in tandem, this is the first to truly see edited fotons.

In the comments I’ll also post the framing and shoot on the Christmas Nebula, with rosettes 🏵️ nebula.

This one here is a 3 night special in hydrogen alpha (red) and combined with RGB data for the stars; that are heavily reduced for contrast on the nebula.

Orion is magic. It’s an object that can be seen with binoculars with the naked eye under darks skies (the #netherlands are proud (not) to be masters in sky and light pollution <-fact).

Anyway, Orion consists of M42, a bright nebula and the horse head nebula. On the left is Barnard's Loop.

The sheer violence of gasses, stars born and what not over several light years is amazing.

Shot with a full spectrum modified Sony A7III, Samyang 135mm f1.8 at f2.8. HDR session in Ha and RGB.

Enjoy. #space #astrophotography
