Nice vid and Stunning image, one of your best. I am just finishing a 10hr Orion Image and Jelly is my next project. I started capturing a few images of it after Orion was hitting my roof, and you are right, it is very dim. Just need a run of clear nights for that one.

[@keystothecosmos7527]

Thanks man. That Orion is gonna be epic!

What Bortle skies are you? Im in Bortle 3 (sometimes 4). I have a Skywatcher ED80 with a tracking mount and Nikon D750. Debating if i can try this target as it's in a decent spot in my Australian sky from 10pm. I don't have any filters (they are super expensive! $400 for a filter...)

[@keystothecosmos7527]

I'm in a Bortle 8/9 so I absolutely need one. You should be ok without any filter in those skies assuming the moon isn't close by!

@@keystothecosmos7527 currently it's a near full moon so taking shots is out of the question. I spent three full night's trying at Thor's Helmet and Rosette and the results were woeful. 😔 So I'm looking for other targets as Orion, horsehead etc are super easy and ive done them. Have you done Comet Leonard?

[@keystothecosmos7527]

@@DamienBoath No unfortunately I didn't. I didn't have a great view of it where I image from

[@DamienBoath]

@@keystothecosmos7527 I managed to get a couple of great shots. So pleased to capture something that won't be around much longer, if ever.
