Nice video. I captured the same view early in my astrophotography days and was somewhat confused at what I was seeing. I thought I was picking up space debris. I asked one of my mentors, and he explained how the Orion Neb tends to 'ascend' through the Clarke belt in the early spring. I have the video I compiled from my stills somewhere, maybe I'll post them as well.

is this real footage ? thanks for answering my questions about astronomy binoculars on your other vids. i had seen some of your other vids on here but did not know they were yours. awesome!

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@Zeethr Yes, it is real 100%. But you need to take long exposure subframes of 30 seconds each one, to get so many faint stars and details in the video.

Magic!!!!!!!!! very nice

Very nice! But there is a lot of light pollution :-(

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@astrofranck True, but I was imaging near the city lights and no filters. Next time I will try with darker skies.

@CumputerPhysiscsLab I've been using tungstun white balance for the sky lately. It makes the sky appear blue instead of brown where there's lots of light pollution. Interesting vid though. I didn't realize a 300mm lens would zoom in that much.

@scottohscott Thanks for the hint. I will give it a try next time.
