My very first light here - M42
So I finally got all those pesky rings and reducers needed to get everything bolted and nailed together on the 72ED, plus Sydney's skies also got clear for a few nights last week hence I was able to put together a few hours on M42. My guiding was mostly on strike so at the end I scrambled together 13x120s and 14x180s of lights with CLS filter, 8x180 lights through Ha filter and some 10x180 of darks.
Here is the result - my very first light well - ever, as my trials with the old trusty Canon were soo atrociously bad even I couldn't bear to look at them.
The first one is pretty much default settings out of Astro Pixel Processor the second one with some playing around with some settings and very little bit of love in Affinity Photo. As you see I have a long way to go - can't get the core to show without destroying surrounding nebulosity and vice versa.
Any advice or criticism is welcome.
