My favorite winter constellation growing up. M42 was one of the primary objects I explored when I first got a telescope back in the day.
I went out last night into the snow for some interesting shots. As it turns out, the shots I thought would be so interesting... weren't. But I was struck by a sense of nostalgia about our lit home on a dark and cold night. I wanted to preserve it for the kids. There is still a mini Christmas tree up in the Boys' room and the paint colors we chose to make the main room look warm seem to be working. It's a happy place and when they get overwrought at a friend's house, school or while doing chores, they always want to come back to their comfort zone.
Since the Northern light was very weak, I had to use the following settings:
Exposure 68 sec
Aperture f/4.5
Focal Length 18 mm
ISO Speed 200
