M42 and ic434 widefield

[ultranova]

Hi every one, I don't normally do wide field so I thought I would take the opportunity to try and get two lovely nebulas in one shot,

I could see after processing the dust around the two nebulas was just starting to come through, could have done with some more subs to really bring the dust out.

worked out fairly well, had to take the subs with a un- modified canon 1100d whilst mine gets repaired, so quite pleased with the red response from the camera,

subs were taken at 200mm fl through a canon L lens stopped down to f5.6.

neq6 pro, canon 1100d un-modified ,canon 70-200 mm L lens @ f5.6

guiding, phd , 25 subs x 4 minutes @ iso 400.

Processed in Pi and Pe.

thanks for looking

Paul.

Really nice image, especially as it was an un-modified camera. Can you say why you stopped down the lens? Sharper image / easier focussing / or to extend the length of exposure??

Thanks guys, your kind words are much appreciated,

Chris in answer to your question, the only reason I kept the lens stopped at f5.6 was to try and keep the stars a bit tighter (sharper), I kept the iso to 400 to try and help with noise,

Hope this helps Paul.
