M42 from Cambroon

Heres another of my images from cambroon, again, taken with my DSLR + Megrez 102. This was a real pain to edit compared to the data I get from my QHY8.. however its come up ok..

Thanks go to Paul '[1ponders]' for helping me sort out my guiding... This is the deepest image I've ever produced...

8x510sec (8.5min) ISO800
2x600sec ISO400

The fog rolled in and I had to stop half way through the 3rd 10min sub, so I didn't get a chance to do some 10~20sec subs to tame the core... Not to worry..

I've posted 2 edits of this, first, the original color balance, the 2nd one was the outcome of me playing with the hue... it looked to me a bit like a narrowband SHO shot, so I saved it... Some may like it, some may hate it.. I think its kind of cool looking if somewhat unnatural.

Cheers for looking.
Alex.
