Hi folks

The grouping of the prominent white stars Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka in the constellation of Orion, were the target for my Canon 350D (unmodded) and a 90mm Tamron lens at F2.8, ISO 1600. This is the result. Location: Waterford, Ireland

Steve, thats a very pleasing shot to look at, I'm thrilled to see all the red nebulae in that photo, the filter does a great job, and I've ordered one this week :P

I'll hopefully have a go soon !
Nice one

Wow! :shock:
That is a beautiful shot. Was this piggybacked on the CGE?
Well done.

Excellent work Steve! What's the LP like at your location? It looks as if that filter is doing lots of good work!
