M42 Orion - Work In Progress

At this time of the year there's not a lot to choose from when imaging from my backyard. I get the Tarantula and M42 and that's about it, at least with a short FL refractor. Lockdown should end/reduce to a decent level today so traveling to somewhere with a decent field of view will be on the cards.


This is a stack of 50 x180s images with no calibrations at all (they'll get done later). Surprisingly I can't get near the detail out of this that I could from the single 10 minute exposure I took as an experiment, but no doubt calibration frames, and more light frames will help with that later down the track.


I'll set up for another set of 50 tonight and add it to the pool.
