Description

M 42 images were taken as part of the check out of my recently acquired ASI2600MC one-shot color camera. I made this crop to highlight some of the interesting nebula flows along the "southern" side of M 42. Not much time was invested as I was interested in the camera's dynamic range, overall color and ability to capture brighter stars without the (my) ASI1600's well-known microlensing effect of brighter stars. Overall, this image was minimally processed although a bad gradient was created due to the combination of light fog and M 42's low altitude in the direction of a town's sky glow. Some "funny" star flares are due to my AT115's internal tube baffles (I think).
