Description

I’m still planning to get a deep image of this using my wide-field set up but that’s another month or 2 away. For now, I just wanted to get a quick view of things this morning and see how it could turn out. Thankfully this is an extremely bright object so it doesn’t require a ton of exposure time. I tried not to blow the core out as badly so the trapezium cluster is still just visible. I also elected not to use luminance at all here since it was overpowering the colors.
