The image of Messier 42 was captured using 10 sub-frames at 30 second exposures each, using a 102 mm APO refractor at F/7. The camera used in the image train, an ASI2600 CMOS OSC.

Processing software used: Astro Pixel Processor to stack the sub-frames, PixInsight to stretch & process the image and Adobe photoshop to finalize process.

@astroenthusiast you're most welcome! Really hope I can get pics yours soon! 

You will, takes some practice. My pictures are no way the best. I have more bad images than good. Trial and error to develop the skills needed for this hobby. Oh, and lots of patience!

@astroenthusiast They looks really good to me! I tried borrowing a friend's data of the Orion Nebula and tried editing. It was really hard work and lots of trial and error, not easy but as you said, practice makes prefect! Thanks for sharing these inspiring images.

BTW do you have a account in Facebook? I would like to be friend with you so I can learn from you. Thanks :)

Hi Tan, no unfortunately I never got into facebook, but I am on LinkedIn.

Thank you for all the likes!! I'm looking forward to return the favor! Oh, btw, try investing in Pixinsight, and Adobe Photoshop (subscription). Astro Pixel Processor is ok too, but it looks like PixInsight is the best, IMO. Just keep practicing. What skies are you imaging in? My skies are Bortle 5 - 6.

Thanks for the suggestion! Pixinsight and Photoshop are definitely on my list! My skies is Bortle 5, in Malaysia.
