Hi everyone.

This image of M42 was a result of sharing equipment.

Taken 02.10.20 under a full moon and good weather.

No guidance.
Process via Gimp and Samsung S10.

Comments welcomed.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Paul.

Certainly the time of year for Orion, if only the clouds would go away.

Actually, last night the full Moon appeared poking through the clouds.
It was quite spooky...

How do you share a telescope, one eye each?

Anyway, too your result :-)

I suppose Orion being so bright can be imaged under a full Moon.
However I have found that the noise in the atmosphere is too hard to get rid of. Probably better to target the Moon!

Thanks Peter,

Yes there was a break in the weather last
night around 9.30pm.

And tonight it's looking better...so far...

I have a freind who visited for the long weekend.
We combined our equipment for different set up
comparisons.

How do we share a telescope ?

This image was being stacked live via my
freinds Asiair Pro.

So we were able to view the stack on his tablet
as the exposures were being taken.

The Lenhance filter took care of the Moon glare.

It was a great night trying different scopes, cameras
and equipment in various combinations on different
targets to discover the results.

Paul.
