Description

Everyone has to have an image of M42. This is my best version to-date. This image was generated using a HyperStar lens to give a focal ratio of 1.9 on my C14 EdgeHD. This gives a nice wide field of view 1.5 x 1.1 degrees. I took 60 x 30 sec subs and 60 x 5 sec subs, then after processing with PixInsight I used the HDR Combination and Multiscale Transform tools to make the HDR (High Dynamic Range) combination.
