Description

First narrowband attempt at M42, wanted to go HDR with different exposures but the initial results with single exposure were pleasant enough and I left it that way.

HDR has to wait for next year, can't get good shots of M42 from by backyard anymore now!

I tried several color combinations but SHO (R/SII, G/Ha, B/OIII) seemed the prettiest, narrowband is not "real" colors anyway and I think the artistic flow can be left to roam free.

The final result after one day doesn't look pretty as it initial did, a bit too fuzzy, still decently pretty though.
