Description

I only had one target in mind tonight and that was Thor's Helmet, so to bide my time I tried several targets but none appealed to me, so I settled on spending time on M42.  I thought I would try as many 60 second subs as I could get before NGC 2359 rose over our roof.  The next time I decide to image M42, I am going to use a few different filters L-Pro or the UV/IR Cut filter that I just ordered and the  L-ultimate.
