feeling more than a little out classed in the dso forum i think here is more my style.

on the menu today we have m42 in all its gory... i mean glory. go easy guys, i am very new to this dso stuff. tracking wasnt great so all i got was 30sec exposures. i might have been able to stretch to 45.... total of 4 lights and 4 darks.

Well Done - Excellent First Attempt
Hi David

Very nice, I tried my first DSO image yesterday. What do you know it was the m42 too!

Mine was nowhere near as nice as your image!

What equipment were you using?

Keep it up

Gav

Well done, David.

Can anyone explain why the D90 came out with green tinged stars?
