Another M42
This is almost 2 hours of exposure - but sadly it's mostly 30 second subs, with 12x 2-minute subs thrown in for good measure - taken over two nights from my Mag 4.somethingawful skies.
The first night had decent seeing and good focus. The 2nd night had better seeing but worse focus. Sadly the stars have suffered for it, but the nebula looks better for the extra photons.
Captured with my AT65EDQ and Canon 300D at a mix of ISO 200 and 400, on HEQ5 mounting - no guiding and only rudimentary polar alignment. Darks, flats and bias frames included.
Frames combined in DSS. All processing in Adobe Photoshop.
