Description

This shot of M42 was taken 9 January 2024 from Iluka, Western Australia. Of the 120 subs captured, 75 x 60s were used. This shot is a little under exposed to try and preserve the Trapezium cluster without complete blowout of the region. I tried to reduce the colour exaggeration so as to preserve some of the overall cloud detail.
