Description

I just got my new camera adapters in, to place the CCD the correct distance from the flattener/reducer and reduce flexure, so I decided to test it on M42 and compare it to previous images (the Moon was almost full so I needed a bright object). I was so pleased with the results I decided to get the rest of the nebula by doing a mosaic. This particular image contains 8 tiles (2 columns, 4 rows). I was particularly pleased to still have the Trapezium visible in the center along with all the dust clouds further out after processing it in PixInsight.
