My first M42

And what a spectacular sight it was in the eyepiece.

This is 20 shots each of 5, 20, 60 and 300secs respectively, @ISO400 for the first time to try and preserve star colours, processed using Pixinsights HDR composition tool. So many different approaches to processing this famous beauty, this is just one I settled on.

I posted it to Flickr here, and it proved to be quite popular!

I'll definitely keep the data and keep working on it once I get a Ha Filter.
