Under the pristine dark skies of Kerry, the constellation Orion presents an array of awe-inspiring nebulae, captured in this 6-panel astrophotography mosaic. Each panel represents approximately 40 minutes of exposure, unveiling the intricate details and vibrant hues of Orion's most noteworthy celestial phenomena.
The mosaic showcases the following nebulae:
Orion Nebula (M42), a stellar nursery where new stars are formed.
Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977), characterized by the dark dust lanes creating a silhouette.
Horsehead Nebula (B33), a dark nebula contrasting against the bright emission nebula IC 434.
Flame Nebula (NGC 2024), a vivid emission nebula glowing with ionized gas.
Boogeyman Nebula (LDN 1622), a dark nebula resembling a mysterious, ghostly figure.
Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118), a reflection nebula with a distinct witch-like profile.
M78, a reflection nebula with a striking blue hue.
Barnard's Loop (Sh 2-276), an immense emission nebula encircling the Orion constellation.
Equipment used:
Samyang 135mm lens
ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera
Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi
The detailed, high-resolution mosaic is a testament to the celestial wonders of the Orion constellation and the extraordinary conditions provided by the dark skies of Kerry.
Humans have dreamed of and studied the stars since the beginning of history. To know the stars and motion of the planets has always been a valued pursuit. Since the dawn of civilisation, we have built to reach for the heavens from the ziggurats of Mesopotamia to the skyscrapers of Manhattan humans have sought to build towards the heavens. Last century we first visited space and new telescope technology unlocked the ability to see and record the cosmos.
In the last decade entry level camera equipment has advanced to the point where it allows us to explore the wonders of space in our own backyards. This collection seeks to highlight how an average person can unlock and explore the wonders of space with basic photography equipment.
The equipment used to take these images is limited to a star adventurer star tracker, a 135mm F2 prime lens and an entry level dslr. The collection will be expanded over time and will include collectors rewards, including raffles and air drops.
