Description ORION NEBULAE, astrophoto.

INTRO:
I like very-very the astronomical photography allso, but I know, this is not so popular in Photography.

ORION NEBULAE:
Also known Messier 42, or M42. NGC 1976
The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated south of Orion's Belt. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. Older texts frequently referred to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula. The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust.

EXPO:
You see totally 260 min expo on the Nebulae (more as 4 Hours!). This image is flatten from 57 images with Registar and Iris software. The most expos are 5 minute long, some expos have 3min, 2 min, 1min, 30sec, 15sec.

GEAR:
127/950 TRIPLET APO mounted on Sky-watcher EQ6 Heavy-Duty Equatorial Mount. On this Apochromatic teleskope is mounted the CANON EOS 30D. Paralell with this mounted the Guider telescope 80/600 ED APO, which has without ocular a Guider webcam. Guiding in Astro-Photography is a must, the Sky moves You must follow one Point. So it is precise the guiding along the expos with the Skywatcher EQ6 Mount.

LITTLE BIT INFO FOR THINKING OVER:
M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years, what means, that the light what we photographed, is started 1344 Years befor, from this Object. In this time was the Roman empire the greatest in Europe, and all the Gladiators were in Rome in outrageous form! So we can say, all astrophoto is one time travelling…

Credits goes allso to my Friend: Hozé who teached me the many thing in Astro-photography, from his 20 Years astronomical Know-How. Without him is this "Shot" not here... We have worked 3 Years on this object, many nights in cold winter. Naturally man shold be to have a clear sky, no clouds and no Moon phase...

Sorry for my English...

Incredible image! I had no idea an individual could make this kind of photograph... I had always presumed it required a multi-million dollar observatory and extreme equipment. Well worth all the time you put into it. Simply gorgeous!

VirtualWords In reply to Muskeg [2010-03-12 17:56:15 +0000 UTC]

To have a good equipment You need c.a. 5-6000 dollars, then You have 1st class mechanique and Apochromatic or Newton telescope, and the others, what You need. Then must you learn and read on the internet and in books, pair software, and go for the perfect sky (what is rare exclude Mauna kea and Himalaya and others)!

Thanky You for the comment, have a good Day!

I don't really know much about astronomy photography but I really like it! This is but one fine example

Do you know of any groups here on deviantART dealing with it, or any website hosting beginners tutorials?

Not my favorite Object, but it is close and big to see in telescope. Orion center region You can allso see in your telescope. But colors only in long explosure.

spartout In reply to VirtualWords [2010-02-24 11:31:35 +0000 UTC]

Whell you must have a big telescope mine is only 50cm long but 10 centimeters wide just big enough to see andromeda.

Great work on it, it looks fabulous!

I think one reason astro photography isn't done so much here, or anywhere, except for sites dedicated to it, is that it's hard and takes a lot of time just for one picture. But there results are awesome!

Not only there, not so many, but exactly right! The center region is a "Birthplace".
