ASTRO: Orion reigon

Also taken with a 100mm lens. This about 8 minutes of data. Canon 400D @
800asa. I neve knew there was so much gas and dust in this area. Its kind
of easy to capture in a image.

You staying up really late or getting up really early?

This one looks a lot like a 15 minute film shot on High Speed Ektachrome
I once did of the same field. Your lens is a lot better than mine however!

The amount of nebulosity picked up is almost identical. Barnard's loop
also came out just about as it does in your shot. Maybe a bit higher
contrast to the background. I was working from a very dark site. Looks
like you may be in more light pollution than I was. Or maybe it is just
because it is low in the sky and looking through too much atmosphere.

Joe, the lens works well, I don't see any blue or purple fringes.
