Astrophotography Shot of the Month

This is a picture of the Orion Nebula I took in Portal, Arizona in January of this Year. It’s a giant cloud of hydrogen gas about 1500 light years away and over 25 light years in diameter. It’s the birthplace of hundreds of brand new stars, some of which light up the gas cloud like a giant neon light. Total exposure time of this photo was about an hour.
