2nd go at M42

Hi everyone,

Had another crack at M42 last night - bit of a bright full moon about but still got a reasonable image and clear skies.

This is the result from 3 unguided exposures masked and combined to hold some detail in the trapesium, 5 secs, 10 secs & 30 secs, 640 iso Fuji S5 Pro DSLR.

Had a quick go at Jupiter as well, with similar processing technique on the planet, so as to hold some detail. Planetary imaging is not my area yet, certainly not with a DSLR, but hey why not have a go?

Feedback welcome - thanks for looking!

Andy
