Description

This image of M42 represents just 20 minutes of data.
I used a combination of 6 minutes of 20 second exposures and 14 minutes of 120 second exposures and combined them to create an HDR image. Rather than trying to bring out the surrounding faint nebulosity, I chose to create a high contrast image and  focus on the beautiful and complex nebulosity within the main targets.
