Description

This is my second multi-exposure length composite of M42. Core details were preserved using stacks of 5 and 20 second exposures. Skyglow from the nearby ski resort limited my longer exposures to two minutes. I could have gone a little deeper using my light pollution filter, but I believe this time around I ended up with more accurate colors.
