Description

We had quite clear skies last sunday and so i was imaging M33(work in progress). At the end of the session M42 was becoming visible and i tried to give it a shot. Unfortunately i was able to take only one photo because clouds soon moved in. I tried to balance noise reduction and detail preservation during post processing in Photoshop. I think the result is not too bad, but i will have to spend more time on M42 in the future.

Edit:Removed blue color cast
