Description

This came out better than expected!

I had a difficult time with clouds and only managed to capture 72 minutes worth of M42 images - The Great Orion Nebula. Not all images were great.

Taken under mostly cloudy skies, this was the only clear area I could find in the sky (and happily stayed that way for a little over an hour).

Taken with a Celestron RASA 8, matched with a ZWO 071 mcP camera. June Lake Ca, USA
