Description

Checking lucky imaging on M42.

I obviously had some problems with the collimation of the scope (or the coma corrector?), but on the other hand I learned some new processing tricks using masked stretches.

Taken under Bortle 5, conditions were not perfect, I only managed to get components A-D of the trapezium (I guess A-F should be possible with the setup used here).
