I tried shooting M42 in heavy light pollution. I'm just shocked that this is possible. Excellent photo, simply incredible.

My accumulation is greater, the tube is the same, and the area is darker, but the result turned out worse.)

Thank you. Honestly, I didn't expect such a result myself at first. Regarding the level of light pollution, I'm certainly not a great expert on all the gradations, but the gist is this: I shoot about 30 km from a fairly large city. The eastern part near the horizon is heavily light-polluted, the western part a bit less, and the north-south directions are quite acceptable. On a clear, moonless night, the Milky Way is visible quite well. On the light pollution map, my location is marked as yellow-green. My subjective assessment is Bortle class 4, maybe a 4-
