Description

The first night in a while that was both clear and not terribly cold. Although some clouds rolled in after a while, I was still able to capture enough data for this image. I would have liked to have gotten more exposure on the Horsehead and Flame nebulae. My main goal for this session, though, was to do both long and short exposures on M42 to maintain the detail in the core, and I believe that was a success.

Side note - I really dislike the diffraction spikes of the Canon 200mm lens!
