Description

Another clear night. That's 4 in a row which is hard to believe considering the few days I've

had this entire Winter. I decided to image M42 the Orion Nebula tonight because with each

night that passes Orion is moving farther West and it won't be long before it is gone from the

night sky. M42 is an interesting object and it is both fun and a challenge to image and process.

With all of that said this is my most recent attempt at imaging M42 the Orion Nebula. Enjoy.
