M 42, very quick view on Trapezium Cluster

This image arised as i waited for my main target this night to show up behind the roof of my house. I had about one hour and thought "lets see what i can achive in one hour while orion is in the sky!". I totally know that one hour is way too short for M 42 and that a HDR image is a must for this target and that a filter (like my IDAS NB2) would be way better, but well, after nearly 4 month of clouds i was so happy to see stars again that i didn't matter about all that things. In prepocessing i gave @David Payne & @Mike Cranfield s script for stretching a try. You can obtain it here. It worked very well for this target, thanks @David Payne & @Mike Cranfield ! I must say, the result is really good. Besides that i once again noted that i really need a flattener for my RC. Autoguiding was not perfect due to windy conditions.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
