Description

M42 in the constellation Orion. In the past I always used Deep Sky Stacker but recently I have discovered Astro Pixel Processor. DSS is a fine program but APP gives me more control over the  output before I go to Photoshop for final post processing.
Great opportunity to go back and redo some of my earlier images.
