Description

Posting my first detailed shot of the Great Orion Nebula (M42) taken in February 2021. A quite satisfactory first rendering after a couple of hours of exposure and despite a very present moon. However, the trapezium region remains saturated given its high luminosity and the individual frame exposure time. An HDR approach to reveal it in a future astro evening will certainly be the next step.
