Description

Updated version of previous subs after spending about 4 hours with PixInsight. I used to think Photoshop was a scalpel...PS is nothing compared to PI. Thanks to the many people on YouTube who blessedly provide their insight and expertise to us new PI users. This version of M42 actually has the Trapesium viewable and is not garishly colored like my previous versions (like a 5 year old with a new box of crayons.) Thanks also to all the Astrobin'ers who graciously provide daily inspiration.
