Description

I wanted to take several photos of Messier 42, to see how well I could capture details of different brightnesses. This was the first of three images, meant to show the Trapezium and surrounding area, taken with exposures of half a second. Unfortunately, this target was low on the horizon, so star sizes are bloated. Messier 43 is also visible in this image.
