It would be almost impossible to resist aiming the camera at Orion when out at a dark location, so with the magnification of a 210 mm lens, this is what we can capture in central Orion. All the nebulas show up well, except that we are at too great a zoom level to also include Barnard's Loop in this image. Unannotated image. |
Hover over the above image for a modified view of same picture, this time with red- dish nebulosity emphasized. Unfortunately this processing loses the violet color in M42, which is one of its salient features in the eyepiece or long-exposure images. |
