What The... M42 with DMK???

I am no DSO guy but seeing that I had all my imaging equipment already set up. I decided why not give a try!

After imaging Saturn I slewed the scope to the M42. I changed the exposure settings and there it was on the lappy screen. The M42 Orion Nebula! It is a total different experience to planetary imaging, definitely no comparison.

After shooting the M42 I decided to look for the Horsehead Nebula and Witch Head Nebula which were near by. I could a small amount of nebulosity in both. I was a bit hard finding them because of the Full Moon.

I had not realised the potential of this camera until last night.


P.S. Having no idea of how to process DSOs I just ran it through Registax.

What do you think? Not bad for a bit of mucking around.
