Another superb image Marco!
The nebulosity in the Orion area is amazing at these long exposures.

Wow Marco - beautiful!

I've been waiting patiently for the clouds to clear to have a go at this object myself but to no avail. When they finally do clear I'm going to have a hard time getting anything close to your image...

Auguri,
Mario

Marco, outstanding

Very enjoyable to look through.

Can I ask a question on the subs, i was just wondering your sub-exposure times for the LRGB?

Thanks Marco.

Very nice image Marco. I like really like the way you blend your data. I did this target several years ago now and did a similar amount of exposure but did not do Ha. Your process has a unique look and one that I find very pleasing. Well done.

Hi Steve, thanks! I standarized 10 mins for all LRGB subs, it seems enough to keep with my system and sky conditions the readout noise low enough to be mostly eliminated during the stacking. On the other side I have to push to 30 mins each Ha and OIII subframe otherwise even if I stack lots of images still get the final image is very noisy.
