Description

This year's Messier 42 contribution to accompany the many fine images uploaded recently, focusing on the core area. This image combines Ha data taken from a single night this year with RGB data from a single night last year. I think that sums up my winter imaging from home observatory thus far ;-). The image has about one third cropped off.
