Images of the Orion Nebula taken with the Radian Raptor 61 refractor telescope using a one shot color imager.
I have to say I am enjoying this small refractor immensely! Way less fiddly (technical term) than the RASA 8 as in easier focus and nice round stars pretty much edge to edge.
I’m also gradually getting better at the post-processing using Photoshop and PixInsight… or at least I think I am.
