This is the Orion Nebula, also known as Messier 43. This is 80 pictures of 30 second long exposures from multiple nights stacked together and processed. I am new to astrophotography but learning fast and this is my first success that I am so proud of and must share with you all. Clear skies!

Telescope: Explore Scientific ED APO 102mm f/7 FCD-100 CF HEX
Camera: Nikon D600
Mount: Celestron CGX
Guiding Telescope: Astromania 70mm Guide Scope
Guiding Camera: ZWO ASI120MC-S

Stacked using Sequator, then StarNetv2GUI to isolate the stars from the nebula, post processed as layers in GIMP.
