Hello, I’m Shivam Sanap, an 18-year-old astrophotographer from Manmad, India. I captured the Orion Nebula after a lot of hard work, and the results are truly amazing!
Captured the Orion Nebula (M42) using an EQ13Q mount from Maharashtra, India.
Scope: [your telescope here] at ~700 mm focal length, Camera: [your camera].
Exposure: [example] 60×60s L, 20×60s R/G/B, with darks, flats, and biases applied.
Processed in PixInsight & Photoshop — final image shows the bright core and faint nebulosity.
Stacked with darks, flats, and biases, then stretched and color-calibrated.
Applied noise reduction, HDR for core, and light star reduction.
Enhanced contrast and saturation for nebula detail.
Final touch-up in PixInsight & Photoshop.
