Description

Orion Nebula (M42) and the Running Man Nebula (NGC1977) Newtonian Astrograph version

Still in the process of discovering the best workflow for this fast newtonian.
I´ve tried since I started in astrophotography to achieve a decent M42. Well, the term "decent" has different meaning for each one.
I am indeed very pleased with my result, it´s not perfect, but my best so far.
