Widefield M42 attempt
I'm under no illusions that this is a terribly uninteresting image to most people.
However, I was completely blown away to see the horsehead nebula sitting at the bottom of the frame (the fainter of the two).
This is about 10 minutes worth of exposure taken from the backyard. Each photo was a 5 second image, which is not ideal, but it is what was needed to capture the fainter objects.
