M42, M43 and NGC 1977

About this image

This view of the dust lanes in this region is cropped from a test image of 38x60seconds taken through my triplet APO on my second pier which sits out in the garden outside my observatory. I haven't yet got the spacing to the reducer quite as I want, hence the need to crop some of the image.
