Description

Captured between 4am and 6am in the morning over three mornings from a very light polluted suburb in Cape Town, South Africa. I was just super eager to do this as M42 was my first attempt at AP just 11 months ago. Soon there will be better times and angles to do this again. I will then attempt a LRGB version.
