My first adventure into #astrography - Orion (+nebula visible).
Canon EOS 1300D with f/1.8 35mm lens, 15 min total time, 5s per image. Stacked with DeepSkyStacker, postprocess in GIMP.
I captured the usual lights + darks + flats + bias pictures, but shooting from my balcony clearly shows a lot of light pollution (+ neighbor deciding now is the best time to heat up with wet wood ruins a lot of pictures).
I need to get better with focusing, and maybe I'll try a different zoom lens later.
Getting closer, this time with a zoom lens...
Needs shorter individual shot duration (currently 5 sec might be too much) since the stars are still oval.
