I do like how you image off the beaten track Steve.  |
Thanks Paul. I'm probably not going any further with it but I'll see. The seeing was pretty awful for most of the RGB subs. I have nearby hills to the south so I usually see the SMC through turbulent air and this was a case in point. Possibly some OIII might be interesting though as the Ha wasn't too bad.
I've always liked imaging unusual stuff. It helps my motivation. If M42 was the only thing available to image for instance I think I would be selling my gear.
