Video Description

How I Took a Picture of the Orion Nebula! Camera (STOCK): https://amzn.to/3tzkV4I Camera Lens: https://amzn.to/3RxrdKo Light Pollution Filter: https://bit.ly/47c6nFW Portable Star Tracker: https://bit.ly/3XF6wig With only a few hours of clear sky time, I set up my camera and star tracker to photograph the Orion Nebula under a first quarter moon. The final image includes 90 x 60 seconds (1 hour, 30 minutes) of total exposure time from my Bortle 6 backyard! I hope this video inspires you to get started in astrophotography and explore the wonders of the night sky with me!
