Description

M42 was the second deep sky object I ever captured. Revisit the good old Orion Nebula after 2 years is like visiting an old friend. I can see my learning progress during the time.  Unfortunately, M42 now is swamped with the Starlink satellites, there are satellites in every sub !!! The stacker software has done its best to remove the satellites lines, but the final image still recorded this unfortunate reality we are facing now
