Taken with my Dwarf 3, this shot of M42 was done over 3 nights, totally around 4.5 hours of integration. 2 hours of 60s frames, 1.5 hours of 15s frames and 1 hour of 5s frames. The shorter exposure frames allowed me to capture the inner core detail, while the long exposure frames enabled me to catch as much of the outer nebulosity as possible.

Taken from bortle 7 skies with a Dwarf 3, processed in pixinsight.
