I shot Orion Nebula before but that was with an alt az mount and I wanted to take a new photo with my new heq5 pro mount. I am still a beginner and this is like my 5th dso
Celestron nexstar 130slt (modded for prime dslr focus)
Nexstar 130 slt was remounted onto the HEQ5 pro
Broadband
Around 1 hour 10 minutes exposure
2 min x 35ish
Nikon d750 unmodded
Stacked and processed in Siril

First photo with alt as mount looked like this

Nice! You can try slightly shorter exposures with your D750 on Orion as it’s very bright, like 60s. Also, shoot flats; they’ll majorly improve your image quality. Keep at it!
