Actually this motif – the Great Orion Nebula (M42) – was one of the first nebula I have ever tried since starting with astrophotography. I was already quite satisfied with the first result (maybe because I didn’t know better :)). Tonight I decided to give it another try. Personally I think it is much better than the last one. The image is also available in full resolution.
