Description

I took this image of the Orion Nebula from Bortle 1 skies in eastern Oregon, USA. This location is some of the darkest skies in the United States, or at least the lower 48. It is a Bortle 1 zone with zero artificial light pollution according to lightpollutionmap.info, and is surrounded by dark skies for 100 miles.

The night I captured this data on was bitterly cold but had some of the best skies I've ever seen in my life.

Cheers.
