Description

This is a totally new recipe for me.  I normally shoot long exposures like 300".  My friend, Bob Hand, has been pestering me for months to shoot shorter exposures but more of them.  I finally tried it and I am really impressed.  M42 is, of course, very bright and I am not yet convinced that this same idea will work on fainter objects, but I will certainly try.
