Description

A very common area to photograph in the sky, but not easy to get it right. I am still not very happy with the colour that came through, not sure why the blues on the bright stars appear quite strange, and so are the fainter nebulosity around M42. Will try to use a different scope combination next time.

A mosaic of 4 frames, each consists of 3 hours of exposure
