Description

An attempt at a fairly wide-field view of the Orion area. It was taken on a night when the Moon was shining reasonably brightly - clouds having got in the way of the preceding Moon-free nights. I'm not sure if this is why the fainter nebulosity - e.g. Barnard's Loop and the Angelfish Nebula - don't show up all that well, or whether that is a consequence of the fairly short exposures I have used in order to avoid blowing-out M42. I'd like to have another go on a darker night some time. Does anybody know of a good "cloud removal" filter??!!

A few additional details - things which as far as I can see, I'm no longer allowed to say elsewhere (is that just me, and possibly my incompetence - I'm not sure??) :-

No filters used
Exposure settings - 28mm focal length, f11, iso1600

Description: This is a second version of the image. Andrew Whiter took my data and worked some real magic on it. His result is a real eye-opener, and has made clear to me that I have a lot to learn about processing!
