Description

I finally had a clear, dark, and transparent night. I decided to image M42 again because it is that time of the year and the constellation Orion is in a good location for most of the night. The majority of my light frames had satellite trails in them which was a little aggravating. However

I just kept on imaging. It's common to get a few satellite trails while imaging but tonight it felt

like I was trying to image a satellite highway there were so many of them. Anyway enough

talking. M42 is fun to image and also a lot of fun to try and process.
