Oh ye of little faith!

Who said no more M42's for the year...

OK, I confess, it's just a PixInsight reprocess...of 50 mins of data LOL. Fiddled with this, tweaked that, destroyed this and that and took some laxatives and voila!

Yeah, the blues gone whackier than Colin on Rhohipnol (not that I'd know Colin... ) and the noise is worse than Peter's 4 x RR Trents at max continuous, and the colour is approaching a Sidonio reject...

TADA!

I told you it was glorious.

It's better than a Pollock.

[atalas]

It's a ....so bad.

[LewisM]

Liar.

It's bloody awful BUT, the whole idea was to test P.I how much it could extract data. So, given a good set of data, it will really pop the detail.

I am just NOT going to do any M42 (this data is 2 months old) until next rotation.

Good thing is those AWFUL Baader filters are gone. So much for "German Engineering"...got better results with a $30 Chicom filter...

You used ABE? It looks like it’s been ABE’d

[LewisM]

It got Abe Lincoln'd - you know, shot to the heart....

This was just a test...we will resume normal totally serious whang measuring shortly

(and I was bored last night when I couldn't sleep prior to a major job interview)

That's not completely terrible, Lewis

[LewisM]

I looked in the yellow pages, and there is an ophthalmologist near you Rick

its pure farming material, very dusty with large noisy boulders

RB has tainted it with chicken poop

[multiweb (Marc)]

I took worse pictures than that. And they weren't even green.

true, but this one has a certain element of brown within it that makes it unique

It's good but it could do with some "Bunnings" luminance....

[LewisM]

Oh, give it time Andrew...

Just what are you implying Mr. Hough? Huh? Huh?

Are you calling this reprocess sheet? I am

Funny thing is, it is EXACTLY the same data as this: https://www.astrobin.com/full/329469/0/

Just with some PixInsight eff-ups incorporated this time...

You can never have too many M42's. A bit more data would clean it up nicely.
