Description

The Great Nebula In Orion (M42). Taken in early 2021, this was my first successful attempt at capturing a DSO.  I took 50 x 10 second exposures with my DSLR at ISO 1600, but my stacking software rejected all but 16 of them.  I revisited the stack and reprocessed it several months after I captured it, stretching it to reveal more stars and draw out additional nebulosity. (Captured: C6, Alt-Az, Nikon D5200. Processed: Photoshop, Gradient Xterminator.)
