Description

Its 3 years after I visited M42 the last time for a picture. So it was time and because he wont nicely fit into the field of view of the 150PDS I decided to do a 2 panel mosaic. 
Weather and his visibility at the sky reduced the exposure to 2 hours per panel but I am pretty happy with the result.
