ORION NEBULA (M42)

This is my first attempt at photographing the Orion Nebula. The wind was blowing (5 Mph gusts) so the stars are a little "out of round". I am glad to finally have a prime-focus shot to show for all the time and money invested in this hobby. I am looking forward to refining my technique and getting a much clearer shot of this magnificent target.
