Orion at 135mm

By Carlos Vasconcelos

I've always wanted to capture Orion in a wider version. I had the opportunity to take this image on a trip to the interior of Bahia, in the municipality of Piatã, more precisely in the middle of a coffee plantation. The shots was taken with the Asi2600mc Pro connected to the Samyang 135mm lens at f/3.2 (with the L-Pro filter), the mount was the Star Adventurer GTi, without guider. The night was cloudy, so of the more than 400 60-second images, only 120 frames were used. The editing was done in Pix Insight and a light vignette correction was completed in Photoshop. Enjoy!
