October Camelopardalis meteor, and the Orion nebula
5

Very wide-angle view of the winter Milky Way. Orion and the Orion nebula are to the left, bright red Mars near frame center, the Seven Sisters star cluster center bottom, and a bright meteor trail to the right. Canon M6ii, Rokinon 12mm f2.0, 10 seconds, ISO 400 (single frame)

The Orion Nebula. Full-spectrum Canon M200, Canon EF-S 55-250 IS STM, Kenko 1.5x SHQ teleconverter, K&F Concept Clear Natural Light Pollution filter, Tiffen Hot mirror filter, 375mm, f8, 26 exposures x 30 seconds each (total exposure time 13 minutes), ISO 1600, stacked in Deep Sky Stacker

The Orion nebula is grainy as ISO 1600 and only 19 frames were good enough for stacking. I had many more frames but they were ruined by planes and Elon Musk's Starlink satellites - they really are a thorn in astronomer's sides...

[EDIT] I updated the Orion nebula image with a reprocessed image. This time I used 26 frames instead of 19 and used DxO to de-noise all 26 and save to TIF before stacking. The result is far cleaner with minimal noise and grain, better color, contrast and detail.
