Description Taken 3 days ago, from Fribourg (Switzerland). I wanted to photograph IC1805 (the heart nebula), but the conditions were really bad (fog, moon very close) so I took this M42 instead. I tried with more exposures this time, but it didnt show a lot more detail in the nebula. But I noticed it really helped with the noise. I also tried to push the colors, usually I dont like saturated images but I like this one!

Image prise il y a 3 jours près de Fribourg. Au départ je voulais photographier IC1805 (heart nebula), mais les conditions étaient vraiment pas terrible (brouillard et lune très proche du sujet) donc je suis passé sur M42. J'ai essayé de stacker davantage d'images mais ça n'a pas vraiment augmenté la quantité de détail dans la nébuleuse; par contre ça a clairement aidé niveau bruit. C'est une image un peu plus saturée que d'habitude, mais dans ce cas j'aime bien!

Thanks, there are awesome things in the night sky! Just too faint to see with the naked eye but with a camera and a telescope you can see them in all their beauty!
