Description

This is this year's attempt at M42 from my home. I live in a light polluted city, and i wanted to capture the nebula using RGB filters, so i used short exposure subs.  I was worried about the reflection part of the nebula (the blue colors that can be seen in the image) but somehow i managed to capture them as well. Unfortunately, this part of the sky got too low and i couldn't add more data. But still, i think it is a nice result.
