M42 The Orion Nebula
So I did my first remote astro photography. I would like to thank @telescope.live for providing such an amazing facility 💯ðŸ”.
Image shown here is the final outcome of the observation of the M42(The Orion Nebula). It is a very bright nebula located in the sword of Orion (constellation). It is bright enough that it can be seen with naked eyes 👀. It is expected that it is giving birth to perhaps a thousand stars and there is a black hole at its heart (according to suggestion of International team of astronomers, 2012).
