I'm new to Astrophotography and also to Astrobin community. I was into Bird photography for few years but now I am also fascinated to astrophotography. After few attempts on M42 from my terrace, thought sharing my first good image of M42, which I took last month at a dark place . Advices/ guidance are welcome please before putting it in Public gallery.

Hello, welcome here to Astrobin!
The Orion has become quite good.
0.7 hours is not much integration timesmile
The center is burned out.
You can combine different exposure times!

Greetings, Michael

Hi there,

I am an astrophotographer from southeastern Brazil. Your Orion shot is quite good. The combination of an 80mm apo with the cem25p from Ioptron is a great setup for wide fields. Did you use guiding for this shot?

Regards,

Eduardo Oliveira
