Sigma Orionis (130mm 6D).jpg
The multiple star Sigma Orionis just right of centre, near the Horsehead Nebula in Orion, and with the Flame Nebula, NGC 2024, above.
This is a stack of 8 x 5 minute exposures with thr 130mm Astro-Physics refractor at f/6 with the Canon 6D (not modified) at ISO 1600, plus a single 1-minute exposure added in for the bright stars to prevent them from being blown out too much. Even the long exposures were kept short so as not to overexpose the star too much — the focus was on the stars not on going deep to bring out the faint nebulosity. Shot Feb 17, 2017 from home. Some light cloud added glows to the stars.
