M42 - my first CCD colour image

Here's my first-ever colour image from a mono CCD camera. What better target to celebrate it than with good ol' Orion!

I'm very impressed with the level of control possible over the imaging process and post-processing, and the much-improved sensitivity compared to a DSLR exposure of equivalent time.

Larger versions: 1600 px wide, or 3338 px wide

Details: 1.5 hrs LRGB (25 20 20 20) with a GSO RC8 scope, AP CCDT67 reducer, SBIG STF-8300M camera + FW + OAG, and EQ6 mount. Subs stacked with DeepSkyStacker and combined in PhotoShop.

Thanks for looking!
