Clear starry nights lately so I got out the motorized mount to try my luck with astrophotography again. Even Pete got excited. Seems we are attracted to hobbies that are very weather dependent.
Orion nebula (M43/42) in a more elaborate attempt. Image stacking, subtracting all sorts of noise, in camera dust etc. More of the nebula is visible and a hint of the 'Running Man' nebula above M43 than with the first attempt. This may be as far as it goes in the city with all the lights. Need to check out a darker location next starry and moonless night.
