Think. What is the celestial latitude of the Orion nebula? Think now what else could be near this latitude?

Oh trust me George, I have my scope out there right now acclimating to the freezing temp so when I go out there it will be an ice cube. I will be waiting for the comet with a bottle of vodka, and ill be using a .5x focal reducer. If I cannot find wirtanen tonight, the star charts totally wrong :)

Its still a very poor shot of the nebula. Looks like something I would have taken in the 90s but hey, nice photo regardless. Ill take all space photos

come1984 its literally the first time i have ever takena photo of a nebula, and its not even stacked or processed. just a gif sequence of raw data. Zero sharpening. Zero photoshop. Zero registax. Zero pipp. This is real life. not some disney fantasy image conjured up by a guy sitting at his camera with 500 x 60 second exposures. This was 20 frames of real life.
