Description

This is my first attempt at M42 with the Orion G4 Mono CCD and LRGB. I overexposed the core of the nebula and couldn't seem to get anything out of it. If I play with the histogram I can see the Trapezium, but the fine detail around the core is lost. I will try again with many more shorter subs, instead of few longer ones.

At the moment, however, this is my best work so far.

Share and Enjoy.
