Over the past week and a half I spent the time imaging M42 (Orion Nebula). Its a classic object, but wanted to test things out to see how things go before I attempt a bit more harder objects.

Managed to get 900 subs at 1min unguided. With a combined total of 15hrs it really turned out pretty good. One of my best M42 images I have done.

Camera is the ZWO2600MC using the WO FLT91 with the 0.8x reducer giving me a F4.7 at 430mm. Living in bortle 4 skies I don't really have to worry about much light pollution around.

I imaged at gain 0 at -10C. Even at 1min subs I was still just under blowing out the core.

Processed in Pixinsight and give a slight touch up in Photoshop.

I included the annotated image as well as its nice to show the other NGC object I imaged in my FOV.
