Last night I pointed my deep sky kit at probably the most photographed subject beyond our solar system...

Orion...

This lead me to troll the gallery here.

This was the first image of the Orion Nebula I put up. Shot in my back garden!

Just over two years down the line, I shot this in my back garden last on new years day!

I love the journey I have undertook of discovery and learning!!

These are amazing and I cannot even imagine the work that has gone into producing them.

You started off driving a wooden bogey and have currently reached an F1 level.

Outstanding, stunning images. Thank you for posting.

Best regards

The first image is great the second one is just amazing it must take lots of patience and time to produce these photos 👍
A question is only easy when you know the answer ..

These are the key words for me. Journey, discovery, learning are what brings about the sort of results that you are now getting. I can relate to it, you chose to look for the big via astro, I chose to look for the small via macro. But your journey is the greater because you are loving it in spite of the long, cold nights, the bad weather, the clouds that won't part... whereas my macro is done in good weather during the day or in the comfort of the home. Keep travelling the journey, Spad, and never stop learning. And let it be a lesson for those people who think that taking an awesome photo is just a matter of buying the latest and greatest tech, pointing it at the universe and pressing a button!

Excellent progress Spad...the second image is superb...reminds me of a human heart witnessing a 'flyby' from an ancient civilisation's wind propelled ship of war!
(Swear i've not touched a drop for over 24 hours... )

Happy New Year.

Pictures like that really put you in your place as far as the greater 'creation' goes - totally insignificant !
