astroenthusiast 279 Posted April 9, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment

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! 1 Link to comment
Tan Zhi Qi 120 Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) @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 Edited April 11, 2021 by Tan Zhi Qi Link to comment
astroenthusiast 279 Posted April 12, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment
Tan Zhi Qi 120 Posted April 12, 2021 Thanks for the suggestion! Pixinsight and Photoshop are definitely on my list! My skies is Bortle 5, in Malaysia. 1 Link to comment
