M42 Orion Nebula [Singapore]

Messier 42 The Great Nebula in Orion.

 

Third try at this DSO in the middle of light-polluted Singapore. Clear weather. No lens fogging problems unlike the first two attempts. Only problem was satellite signals keep disconnecting at this location. Only few subs were collected as a result. Despite so, the resultant stacked photo definitely looks better than previous tries. Running Man Nebula is vaguely visible on the right.
