M42--12 hours with the Dwarf 3 scope
The Dwarf 3 is the perfect scope to capture detailed, wide views of the sky. This ability is particularly suited to large DSOs like the Orion Nebula. This image is a 12 hour integation on 60s subframes, stacked and procssed in Siril (with Varilux and Cosmic Clarity scripts). At 12 hours, the faint nebulosity surrounding M42 starts to become visible and the Dwarf does a fine job of capturing it. Click image to see the large version.
