M42 through my SDM

[mbaddah]

Perhaps my best M42 to date. Taken last week Friday from my light polluted skies, using the following:

14.5" SDM
Canon 600D (unmodded)
CLS-CCD filter
10 second subs at ISO800/ISO1600 for total exposure of 17minutes.
Stacked in DSS, processed in PS6.

I had intended to image for an hour but the clouds rolled in :( I'm happy though with the potential there is of stacking short subs.

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks for looking :thumbsup:

That is nice. 14.5 inch scope is serious aperture.
