Description

Because everyone needs at least one M42 image in their collection!

Exposing for about 3.5 hours was enough to bring out some of the dust around the nebulous regions. Adding in about 45 x 15 s subs helped improve definition in the core which was blown out in the 1 min subs. I'm not normally a fan of starless images but it seems to suit the subject.
