Description

The M42 image was shot with William Optics' newest prototype 0.79x reducer for FLT132. The reducer is exceptionally sharp--NINA calculated HFR mostly to be between 1.6-2.0. I have never seen stars so sharp and tight even with the 68AIII 1x flattener. I did use RC Astro's  BlurXTerminator in the post-processing, which further reduced the stars in the final image.
