Another M42

The Great Orion nebula is like pizza in the following ways:
1- Even a bad one is still pretty good,
2- no matter how many times U have it, U don't really get sick of it.

On that note, let me present to you my wide field view of the metaphorical pizza 🤣

Due to the location of this target in the sky with respect to my localised light pollution, I was unable to get good contrast in the surrounding faint dust clouds. Perhaps I should get an IDAS light pollution filter one day.

Location : My backyard in suburban Melbourne Australia.
