Description

One of my best acquisitions of M42 to date! Albeit the Orion Nebula is one of the easiest DSOs to capture due to it's wildly high brightness even in light polluted skies. This was my first time imaging M42 with my new iOptron CEM26 mount and Sigma 150mm-600mm  f/5.6-6.3 lens which I'm using as my primary "scope". I processed this in Adobe photoshop as I'm still infant to the idea of trying PixInsight to see if I can get a slightly better image out of that. I struggled with alot of pattern noise in this image which is why I had to set the contrast so high so that it couldn't be noticed in the background.
