Description

I shot 50 subs at 10 seconds each to properly expose the trapezium area with the intent to combine with longer 240 second subs. As it turns out, image editing can be hard to stop when you get started so I processed it into a standalone image! It's amazing how bright this nebula is. After I played around with the 500 second stack to see how it turned out, I thought the results were decent enough to post here as an example of what a short m42 exposure can do. I'll process the other 240 second subs and combine with this stack later.
