Since the weather won’t permit a new capture (πŸ˜’), here’s a starless reprocess of my Orion Nebula data from a year ago.

Messier 42: The Great Orion Nebula

A diffuse nebula - it is the nearest star-forming region from Earth, at a distance of ~ 1 300 light years.

Fun fact: Venus is currently also only partially illuminated, which is why, if you zoom in, it doesn’t appear completely round!

a poorly drawn cat created with a black pen on high-textured paper. the cat is depicted in a simple, cartoonish style with a rounded body, upright tail, and a slightly confused facial expression. three dots next to its head suggest a sense of awkward silence… it’s thinking about something…

I rarely shoot the moon at high focal length during the daytime because I find it tedious to process but this came out pretty decent πŸ˜„
