Description

After imaging NGC 891 for 8 hours that night I took a single 5 minute frame of M42 for fun. I would normally not image M42 with my setup given the tiny FOV of about 1 degree. What a bright object!

I have processed the single frame in PixInsight the normal way (calibrated, debayered and stretched).
