Description

I do not have much more than an hour time to capture such lower hanging objects as M42 from my yard. The other challenge in winter is the men-made seeing caused by many roofs and chimneys around. On the other hand the M42 is bright enough to achieve impressive results even with short exposures.

I made 10 color subs total each 300s (3xG, 3xR, 4xB). Further I made an artificial luminace frame by adding the color frames.
