Orion Rising
by Spad
I haven't posted anything in a while, as I have been more interested in doing deep sky stuff...
But on Saturday night instead of dragging all my big kit out, I decided to do an all Pentax gear shoot. It was also my first attempt at imaging Barnard's Loop in the Orion Constellation.
Kit used - Pentax K3, Pentax DA* 16-55mm f2.8 set at 50mm at f4, Cokin Clearsky LPF, and an iOptron SkyTracker Pro.
99 x 60sec exposures at ISO1600.
Stacked & stretched in Pixinsight, then PP'd with Photoshop and Topaz DeNoise.

David.... I have actually turned the stars down a bit, so they don't swamp the nebulea....
There should be a lot more!
