@dstndstn this is so interesting. What is the amplitude of the distortion?

@kellylepo @[email protected] yes if you’re looking down at a map, but not if you’re looking up at the sky!

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 🤯
