clear skies and no moon - happy boy imaging from bortle 7 skies.
bit of a challenge to process, taken with RASA8 and ASI294mcpro. still trying to work out the new ascom hub 5 controls for the dome
so we have a first half of the night helix, then a NGC253 and NGC288 filler then the main event with M43 and M42. image processor may have been dropped at birth......incorrectly identified ngc288 as ngc244

Nice David, I was out last night as well, poking around M42.

Wow - the H0ughy imaging machine at work again, do you never rest or sleep?;)
Love the NGC253 and GC wide field - a stunning space vista.:thumbsup:

Thanks Dennis:thumbsup:. I have to say I haven't had that much fun since astrofest
2019;)
It's a good feeling when you know you have some data to play with. I will repro the images again and relearn how using pixinsight with better technique :question:
One thing I will be doing is adding more data Now that I can reproduce the same position to image.

Reckon that beautiful globular near NGC 253 is NGC 288, not 244. Names aside, it's a lovely pairing.
The Orion Nebula and Running Man are delightful. Beautiful processing. Well done!
