Description

This is the only picture I could take during the whole winter ! How disappointing this is… but, 
I love to visit the Orion , and the difficulty it brings in processing.
Here I chose three different exposure lengths, 10sec, 30sec and 300sec.

i started last year during almost full moon, that was to rotate my camera for my next actual photo session, and just giving it a try , lol
however, I’m glad I did because that data was the only one I could get so far. 

I worked on the core of M42 mainly and see how I can improve this workflow.
due to light pollution it’s hard to get more faint nebulosity in the background but I’m still happy with it,
maybe I give it another go from the beginning, I also had some issues with pixinsight that some processes just didn’t work, so I just skipped those

i hope you don’t judge it too hard

enjoy looking at it in full view 
CS Dennis
