Last night I was able to set up my star tracker and mount up my camera to capture the Orion Nebula. This is the first time I have even attempted something like this. Before I have only used my tracker for wide landscape shots.

The three stars on the left are Orion's belt. The Nebula is in the middle of Orion's scabbard. The nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun.

You can actually see Orion's nebula with the naked eye, that is why the scabbard looks fuzzy. You can also see this with just a pair of binoculars, this image was taken at 200 mm, so not too much zoom.

"You won’t be disappointed "

"Beautiful cabin. Over decorated with lots of dust catchers. Such as many artificial flowers, that are just not cleanable. I am high allergy and feel that things that can’t be dust and/or wiped down between each guest should not be in a home that is being rented,"

"The house is in a very central location right above Main St by the mountain coaster. We enjoyed the indoor spaces and back porch. The house is well appointed and kitchen had everything needed. My son particularly enjoyed the loft space and small billiards table. Do note, the hill is pretty steep- not a bad walk down, but the up is more difficult. The house is certainly walking distance to town though- the walk up was no trouble for my teen & preteen. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would...
