Revisited the Orion Nebula M42. This time with the mighty (comparing to to WO Z61 MK2) Takahashi TSA-120N. M42 is a very bright nebula so it is fairly straightforward to image overall. The most tricky part is probably the Trapezium region where care must be taken in order to prevent overexposure. I managed to get a few hours of LRGB data before the clouds kicked in. Applied a PixInsight HDR trick I learned from the internet to process the Trapezium cluster region.
