Hi again everyone,
Been waiting for the weather in Melbourne to clear so I can have a second attempt ( as a beginner ) at m42.
Finally last night I got a few hours to setup and capture some images.
I think there is some improvement as I was able to polar align much better. I have extended my exposures to 90 seconds which has helped a lot.
My processing skills need improving as I'm really only fumbling around at this stage. Having some trouble keeping the sky black while bringing out the detail.
Any comment critique appreciated and thanks for viewing
