Description

The main challenge with M42 is not to burn the core. I had to mix various exposures and to use mask to fill the 120s subs with the 2s and 10s core.
I tried to pull out from the dark as many clouds as I could, to obtain an unusual portrait of this overshooted region.
First time with Siril for gradient extraction (quite powerful).
Still struggling with starnett++ and its artefact around bright stars.
Enjoy !
