The Orion Nebula (M42)

This is my second official deep sky photo and first photo of the orion nebula. I am very pleased with how it turned out given the not so good viewing conditions. It was taken with a Nikon 1 V1 using an Orion 8" reflector on the Orion Sirius go-to equatorial mount. I used t-rings that I purchased from telescopeadapters.com to attach the camera. 189 x 25 sec. exposures at ISO 1600. Aligned, stacked, and processed using Nebulosity 3.
