M42 taken at IISAC 2011
Had a short but great time at IISAC. Arrived late on Sat, setup the scope and did some visual for about 1 hr, then the cloud came over. As soon as I finished packing my gear, the sky cleared to a brilliant night.
Took this M42, and did some basic stacking/processing with my limited photoshop knowledge. Turned out quite well I believe.
Scope: LX90 8"
Mount: HEQ5, unguided
Camera: Canon 550D un-modded
10x45sec ISO1600
10x15sec ISO1600 for the core data
Stacked in DSS, further processing with Photoshop CS5
