a large star cluster in the middle of a night sky

This is a picture of the famous Orion and Running man nebula, commonly referred to by its catalogue name: M42. It is a blended exposure photograph of recently captured images stacked together with the images I took of this object on christmas eve 2021. On top of adding more data to the picture I used Pixinsight for processing the image this time around, instead of Photoshop. To capture this image, this telescope and tracker was used: William Optics Z61 & SkyWatcher Star Adventurer
