Description

This is the first wide field image I have taken with the Askar FMA135 refractor. The results are quite pleasing. The star field is essentially flat to the edges with the ASI294 MC camera. 

I have reprocessed this image several times in Pixinsight. The latest version brings out more of the cloud of which the famous Orion DSO's are embedded.

THIS IMAGE SHOULD BE VIEWED WITH THE LARGEST DISPLAY AVAILABLE. The longer you look the more features emerge.
