Messier 42

Hi all,

here's an image I did earlier this year but only just recently re-processed to get it looking right (I think).

It's an 18-minute total exposure time consisting of 6 x 180 second exposures @ ISO200 with dark frame subtraction, bias and flat-fielded and 3 x 15 second exposures @ ISO200 to mask the core. Imaging was using my 12" f/5 'scope on the old Samson GEM with my modified Canon 300D.

You can see a better resolution image at http://www.skylab.com.au/pmsa/ngc1976c.html

regards to all.
