Just a lucky shot (....or should I say 125 lucky 25 sec shots) or is Lam's setup the new 'goto' setup for astrophotographers across the world?
Where is M42 at the moment?

M42 is rising in the east, visible after sunset. The Orion nebula is the brightest nebula and as such the easiest to capture with short exposures. In saying that it is hard to get a great pic, due to the range of brightness from the core to the wispy outer gas fields.
