Another M45 from Snake Valley
Well after a week of frigging around (processing) with the data, I dont think I'm capable of doing any more. Taken on the first night, 16 x 5 min subs with my new OSC camera . (Thanks John). Taking the actual images is less than half the effort required to get a picture.

Lots of Nebulosity there Neale.
The learning curve will be steep and yes, I seem to spend more time processing than capturing.
But in the end, if you produce something that your happy with, the battle is won. You've done a great job of one of my favourite objects. Well done!

Thanks everyone for your comments. They are much appreciated. I am pleased with how it turned out, especially as it was only the second object imaged with the camera which I received that day.
Thanks again,
Neale.

Very nice Neale, for a new camera you seem to have grasped the principles very quickly.
Well done.

Thanks Doug, Jen, David and Louie. Been cloudy ever since Snake Valley camp and if I dont get out again soon I'll have forgotten what to do!

Impressive result. The wisps of nebulosity are well defined. Good work!
