Description

M42 photographed from a bortle 1 location north of the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland. The temperature during the night was below -30°C and I had some problems with the EAF. Nevertheless I managed to collect 168 minutes of 180 seconds exposures.

The images consists of only 180 seconds subs. To catch the whole dynamics of the sensor, I did three stretching in Astro Pixel Processor that I then processed further in Adope Photoshop with the help of Starxterminator and Topaz denoise.
