Ngc2070 / M42

hi guys,

i've been waiting a while to give the Tak a good test run and i finally got the chance

not under ideal conditions sadly, seeing was awful and the wind was gusting a bit but everything seemed to soldier on...
not really a final version of either of these just yet (i took some shorter subs for m42 but havent used them yet)
so excuse the 5 min run through photoshop (i havent slept yet)

i got sick of everything turning red through the UHC-S filter and red halo's around stars so i left it out this time but that means gradients from the light pollution, cant win..
i was pretty happy with how the tarantula shot turned out anyway, lots of faint globs in there.

NGC2070 = 12x10min
M42 = 10x10min
