Inspired by actually being able to see it in photos with the FA77 I had
a go at photographing the Orion nebula.
Here it is with the bigma, 500mm, wide open at f/6.7, ISO 800,
astrotracer only seems to work up to about 10 seconds at 500mm. However,
that beats the rule of 600 by a factor of 8.

For those that are interested in my experimentation, here's the full
album. It was cloudy when I got to the top of bear creek, so the first
few are a bit artsy fartsy. Using the fluidr link so you can see the
exif. The photos are cropped pretty tight:
