Description

I wasn't even sure I was going to process this since this was technically a failure.  By the time I set up guiding and polar aligning, I only got one partial set of subs (18 out of 36 subs) before the Orion Nebula moved behind trees in my backyard.   I realized I had darks and flats from my other target which I switched to (The previous Rosette image) , and so I decided to process it.  While it isn't perfect, I am happy how it turned out.  Hopefully I can plan my shots better and shoot in darker skies in the future.
