Description

I'm not used to photographing during moonlit nights, but given the incessant bad weather I made an exception. In this period I am in sight of M 42 for only a few hours, and considering the quality of my Bortle 6/7 sky I am very happy with the result. Once again I have to thank Adam Block for his incredible tutorials, which guided me in getting the most out of my (little) data.
