M42 Orion Nebula - South Coast NSW
Captured M42 on Tuesday night for the first time this summer down at my weekender south coast NSW. Conditions were a bit hazy and seeing was poor around 9.00pm but improved around 10.30pm so took the opportunity to do some imaging after a 6 week lull due to the terrible fires across the whole state
8” f5 Bintel newt
EQ6-R Mount
32 x 3 minute dithered guided subs
20 x darks
Canon 600D with Baader coma corrector
Home made cooling fan ( sensor running at 22 degrees )
PHD2 guiding ( 0.75 to 0.85 arc sec error )
Captured with BYEOS
Goto and tracking EQMOD, Stellarium Scope and Stellarium
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools ( forgot to take some 30 sec subs to use the Layer module to expose the trap )
Next morning the whole area was smoked out with ash falling for an hour or so until the southerly kicked in ( a lucky 6 hour window that night to capture this image )
Comments welcome, thanks for looking
