First bit of skytime in years, new years M42

[Stinky_Pete]

As it has been a number of years since i have managed to get out under the stars (having had two small children in between) i thought i would use an old friend to get back into deep sky. M42, about 12x6 mins lights, darks to match. Dss and PS to tweek. It was such a nice feeling to get out there, a dream session where it all worked as it was supposed to and not a cloud to be seen. Had a look at Venus as well but my views of Mars and Neptune from here were pretty poor.
nice to be back!

That's a great comeback. You caught quite a lot of detail in the nebula.

Thanks for sharing
