iTelescope. Orion Nebula and Trapezium

iTelescope. Orion Nebula and Trapezium Video Clips. Duration : 0.68 Mins.


Zooming into the Orion nebula. The central Trapezium is resolved with a Near Infra-Red (NIR) Camera. The telescope used was a Takahashi Mewlon 300. The central stars are so bright and the camera is so sensitive that exposure times were about 0.01-0.1s and about 2000 images stacked. The NIR camera can look deeper into the nebula as compared to an ordinary CCD.
