Description

Thanks to my friend Ed Defesche who did a marvelous job on repairing the crappy background gradient on this image.

I figures I had not done an M42 image since just after I got my scope two years ago so it was about time to do a new version.

Note that I used a single sub length for the full dynamic range of this picture. I binned 2x2 to increase the full well of the 6200mm and it is amazing what this camera can do.

The frame is produced by the "annotation frame" PixInSight script, see my other pictures for a link to the script download.
