Description

This is my first true attempt at M42 this season.  I have lots of good data from my "green" zone.  The stars have been incredibly difficult to control the bright ones, bring out the faint ones and still make them look normal.  I still don't like the way the stars turned out, but that's what revisions are for.  Please feel free to leave constructive criticiziam to help me improve anything about the image.
