Description

I was trying for a realistic blend of a core exposure and a regular exposure of M42 when I was surprised at the additional structural components and color surrounding the trapezium. The core was shot at 400iso at 35sec and the regula Orion Nebula exposure of 800iso at 360 sec. I used an Optolong LP Pro filter to cut sky glow and got realistic color right away. I lose only 1F stop of light using this great filter.
