Description

This is an HDR processed image using 5, 30, and 60 second exposures shot through LRGB filters. I may add 1 second exposures to the mix to better bring out the core of the nebula which even the 5 second exposures seemed to be a bit washed out at the center of M42. I have found over the years this object to be quite troubling to get evenly exposed do to the very bright core it has, but I feel I'm getting closer to want I want with this image.
