Description

I wanted to take several photos of Messier 42, to see how well I could capture details of different brightnesses. This was the second of three images, meant to show the object at its best, not too underexposed or too overexposed. Unfortunately, this target was low on the horizon, so star sizes are bloated. Messier 43 is also visible in this image.
