Description

Another photograph of Messier 42. I know, how provincial However, there are certain DSO's that I never grow tired of photographing. This photograph's particular focus was getting a better glimpse of the trapezium and the surrounding area, while also gathering as much detail as possible on the nebula as a whole. I used my 16" RC with 0.8x reducer/flattener for this purpose. I hope this perspective gives M42 a bit of spice!
