M42

This was my first image taken with my new gear. It is the first time I ever used a refractor, and the first time shooting with a monochrome camera.
This was taken from my backyard in Aldgate, South Australia on Xmas Eve... I was looking for Santa!

Mount: Paramount MX+
Telescope: Takahashi FSQ 106 ED
Camera: ZWO ASI 1600 MM Cool
Filters: ZWO LRGB and Ha
HaLRGB 240:60:60:60:60
15 min subs for Ha, 2 min subs for the rest.
Processed in CCD Stacks and Photoshop

Yeah... my layer alignment still needs some work. I'm trying to introduce some star colour back in and have overcooked it a bit... and colour balance still needs work.
