Description

Because of the persistent cloudy sky this winter my only try on M42 complemented with calibration frames:

7 lights, 3 darks, 3 flats, 3 flatdarks

The dark nebulae are well visible. The stars seem to be burnt out somehow maybe 300 secs were too long. Next season I'll reduce it to 240 or 180 secs, Orion Nebula is a quite bright object I had to learn...
