Description

One of a handful of wide field areas that feel like the holy grail to me. I took 180-second subs so as not to blow out 42 too badly. The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to preserve the Trapezium the way I can with a longer focal length, because of the relative faintness of the Flame and Horsehead in comparison. If anyone has ideas, I'd love to hear them.
