Description

Hey,
I would like to present to you my approach to the M42 nebula in the constellation of Orion! This time the material was collected with a monochrome camera with LRGB filters. The total acquisition time of the object was 5.5h (L:4h and RGB:30minutes). The material was collected during the January frosts, despite the forecast of clear skies overhead there was still some kind of fog which definitely deteriorated the quality of the collected material. Thanks to the high brightness of the object itself I managed to put something together.
At that time I also hunted for the Medusa nebula IC443, but due to the conditions it did not come out too special.
