Description

The Spring is arriving and Orion fades in the west from my location.  I did manage to snap an RGB+NB of M42 during a few clear nights in March. I tried to combing different exporsure times to bring out as much details in the nebula as possible, but thisd is a difficult task and I did not succeed in showing the trapezium.... good to have a goal for next winter

Enjoy... comments are always welcome.
