xanthic Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) As I've been having problems guiding, I thought I'd experiment, rather than lose yet another clear night. I was wondering if I got plenty of short subs on M42 whether the accumulated data would be useable. So I did 60 x 60 secs in Ha. The processing was just a histogram stretch and a bit of denoise to take the rough edges off. It's still noisy (though not bad for a mere hours worth). The core stars are visible (just). No messing around with various length subs or masking. I might revisit this when Orion is a bit higher. Edited March 10, 2015 by xanthic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithysteve Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Lovely result, the filaments look amazing! It's a difficult object to capture. M42 is an awesome majestic sight through a decent aperture scope, irresistible if its in season. Photography allows us to gaze upon it all year round. Makes you glad to be in the northern hemisphere!
