M42

This is the second picture I took with my 80ED Long Perng - I took it a few months ago.
about 20 x 2 minute unguided subs and some 20 second subs masked for the core - but its still over-exposed.
Processed in DSS, PS and startools. I had trouble masking out some light interference so there's some shadowing around the nebula and I've darkened the sky a fair bit to reduce noise.
Canon 550d unmodded (next on my agenda will be a modded camera).

Regards,
Tony.

Nice photo Tony.

Sharp and detailed.

It is a very difficult object to process. I'm still to have a proper attempt after 5 years of imaging!

Good luck.

Ross.
