Description

From my site I can see M42 only for less than 3 minutes per day, so in this time of COVID-19 induced clausure and of cloudy skies, I tried to put together all the lightframes I had on M42, taken with two different scopes, at different times years apart and at various ISO values, some with calibration files, some not.

Noticeable CA and even spherical aberration on some stars.

Hence a little bit of a mess and not a great result, but I had to do it.
