I've never gotten an image of The Orion Nebula for several reasons:
---Its huge dynamic range has frustrated my processing skills.
---It's only visible for a short time each night where I image.
---It's intimidating because so many people have done so many great images of this object.
My plans to image it the other night were thwarted when my camera frosted over, but I had access to a backup camera so I decided to try a test image with that instead. It came out better than I expected.
