Description

I shoot M42 every year. Its a great way for me to check my progress in AP. This year I was able to get THREE clear, dry early spring nights in a row. That is unheard of here in Cloudchester. I was able to collect 64 5 minute lights for the main nebula and background dust. 12 ea 1 minute and 12 ea 30 sec for the trapezium areas on my modified 450D. Processed with the Scott Rosen LLRGB method.

This is my best version of M42 yet.

This baby is going on my wall !
