I have been slowly (over 4-5 years) building up the equipment to do more and more astrophotography and this is my latest shot. This was made possible due to recently modifying my camera to have capabilities to capture more of the red light from the nebula. I took about 25 minutes of photos from my backyard (Bortle 5) and stacked them.

Equipment used:

Canon 7d mk ii

Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3

Star watcher star adventurer 2i pro pack

Tripod

Settings:

13s subs

F/8

ISO 3200

250mm

Stacked in DSS and edited in Pixinsight. I can provide more details of the editing/post process if you are interested.

Follow me on ig @careless.25 if you want to see more of this and other photography I do.

Edit: Since you all loved this post so much, I am collecting more data on Orion nebula tonight and will be processing it soon. I will post the results here!
