Description

Just a plain color image of M42 with only 45min of exposure time. It was a good object to try various ways of enhancing details of the  filaments within M42, despite the center been overexposed - the usual problem with M42.  Rawtherapy  is a powerful and easy to use tool for such postprocessing.
