Description

Grüezi,

I was able to shoot a few images of M42, before it will go down for this season. It was in between the clouds and quite close to the horizon already, so I was not able to remove the gradient. No light pollution filter was used in my Bortle 5-6 backyard. This will be the picture I will try to beat in quality next year... should not be too hard!

If I compare it with my very first astro-image (http://www.astrobin.com/281145/C/?nc=user), I am very happy with the progress!

Best wishes from Switzerland,

Jan
