Description

M42 took waayy longer than it shouldve.... I started this project in November 2021. I am only able to get about 2 hours of photos each night in this part of the sky due to trees and my home. Took a lot more patience than other projects, but I think it paid off. 

DSS, pixinsight for processing.

Bortle 5 

Mix of 10,120,180 sec exposures for RGB, 10,120, 300 sec exposures for Ha, and 120 sec lum. All unity gain 139
