Description

This is a composite of 19 frames each of 90-second and 30-second frames shot with a Hap Griffin modified Canon 60D. The trickiest part here was blending the two images to bring out details in the core of M42. Doug German's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THlwDf4zDDo) on using layer masks in Photoshop was very helpful for this.
