      Orion Nebula

      Probably the most photographed object in the night sky, which is not surprising, because the Orion Nebula can be seen by the naked eye as part of the sword of Orion south of the belt due to its great apparent magnitude.

      Thanks to the use of 10-minute exposures (120x, 20 hours total), all the structures can be seen very nicely. But of course this led to the fact that the core of the nebula burned out completely, so 30-second exposures (48x, 24 minutes total) were used for this.
