Description

This was a happy experiment. I had been on another target on a full Moon night and decided to get a few minutes on M42 before packing up, as I had never shot M42 at f/7 (all previous had been wider fields at f/5). Turns out it worked well, considering how little data I collected and that pesky full Moon! Interestingly there is a small artifact which looks like amp glow from the imaging sensor but it is not in the correct location. I suspect it is an internal reflection, maybe?
