I am currently in the obs taking 90 second exposures through the Orion Starshoot III at M42.
This screenshot is the resulting single frame unprocessed out of the camera.
Once I stack ten or so of these with their darks and flats, I can imagine the core will be unrecognizable.
How does one image the extremeties of the nebula, while maintaining the detail in the core?
I will ask in a couple of places and see what different technique answers I get from people.
