Description

I shot this September 11th, 2021, and I didn't even realize I had captured it. It's been sitting in my folder structure for some time and I decided it was time to process it since I was like "when in the world did I shoot M42?!?!". Even at 1.4 hours of exposure, there is a lot of detail especially because this was shot at Bortles 2 site with a 5.3-day old moon. Sure it needs more time, all images do however this is much better (IMHO) than the first M42 I posted with 6 hours and 45 minutes in 2020.
