please keep in mind that l still know almost nothing about the proper settings and everything is trial and error at the moment along with poor conditions, things can only improve l guess.

Well done Mick ! welcome to the mysteries of DSO imaging :drink: what was the
exposure time on your shot Mick ?

[Striker]

Mick,

The image should be a larger Resolution then that....640 x 480

Did you reduce it.

Mick if there is one thing I have figured about this game you will always look to how much better you can do, this is because we see lots of unbelievable photos here (and other places) but remeber its more about where you have come from and I gather you have just started and all will agree thats a great start. My shots are not real flash yet but it has taken me over 2500 exposures of practice to make it this far.. and I,m still just starting really. AND remember the more you practice the more good luck you get.

Nice shot, theres a few faint stars visibe around the Trapizium too. Normally they are hard to get :)

NIce one Mick, some faint stars in the trap region in there too, along with some whispy bits.

That's great Mick! There is actually quite a lot of detail in there. And heaps of gas which I have trouble picking up in my M42 pic.

Keep posting pics!!

Plenty of gas cloud present! A fine start.
