Description

My last picture of M42 and Horsehead in this winter season, weather conditions were already suboptimal with dust in low altitude, clouds rolling through and moon nearby. So only about 1.3h of lights could be captured in my Bortle 5 location. Carpe diem!

Description: I was able to acquire more data until begin of April, so total exposure time is now 4h 50min. As Orion is low at the horizon I picked up a lot of light pollution as well, so the overall improvement is not as good as I hoped for...
