Description

Looking back at the year I returned to astrophotography, I've run across a few data sets I never fully processed. This is one of them which was problematic due of course to the huge dynamic range of M42. I only shot 300s exposures because I was really just messing around with it. The core is burned out here, but I manage to rescue most of the rest of the detail and still show the surrounding gasses that glow much more dimly.
