Description

It's been a typical Houston Winter so far - lots of rain, lots of clouds. January has seen a slight turn for the better, although transparency has been hit or miss on clear nights. I've been wanting to take another go at M42 for a couple of years and finally got around to it this year. On this attempt, I tried not to over-flatten it this time (it's soo easy to go overboard with HDRMT on this one), instead trying to leave a nice bright (but still resolved) core and some depth to the structure. I'm not sure I succeeded... but that's what I was going for! :-P
