What do you know, M42.

Hi all,

Had a chance kids all asleep and the weather permitted

-Total of 1hr exposure-
Sensor was at 40 degrees, still to much thermal noise!
Happy with the results for a DSLR.
Equipment:
Equatorial NEQ6
Canon 550D @400iso
8inch Newton TS
Orion StarShooter Autoguider
BPCC coma corrector Controlled by laptop and relevant software for tracking.

To be honest the processing is a little over done, but to bring out the detail I had to push it. So its best I could with what I have, it was great just to get out there
