Description

M42 The Orion nebula taken at Lighthouse Observatory, Burleson Texas. Using TMB 80SS refractor at F6.3. Employed subs at ISO1600 for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 1/2 minutes, and 5 minutes each (4.16 hr) on 1/29 and 2/10. Used PixInsight processing software.

This is a very slight crop -- North is up.

This was the first attempt to utilize PixInsight's HDR Compositon tool. I think it came out pretty good.
