Description

With summer time just around the corner, I thought I would have an early crack at M42 & the Horsehead as it rose early in the morning sky.  In this case, I almost prefer the starless version.  I wonder if this is because of the improvements to StartXterminator with AI v11 or because of the improved dynamic range from the varying exposure exposure times.    Either way, I am quite happy with the way it turned out.  Now I have the decision to make of whether to more more S/N or start on the next pane of any mosaic.
