Description

I decided to go back and edit the ~1hr of data I had taken of M42 the second night out with my new scope and mount. I’m very happy I did as it was well worth it. Especially since I likely won’t be adding any more data this year. I really like how the star turned out in this image. They’re still a bit bloated especially in the core. I could have taken better care to keep the Trapezium’s stars split and not bleeding into each other… but oh well. Hope you enjoy and clear skies!
