Yet another M42 first attempt

[sausages]

Hi all,

About time I posted my first M42 image. I was playing around to be honest and its only 28 x 1 min subs + 1 x 1 min using a layer mask to try and get a bit of core detail. No darks or flats and an unmodded 1100d used for imaging. There was some wispy cloud in front of the nebula too. Probably over-processed too, but all in all I'm pretty happy with the result.

Let me know your thoughts, I'm planning to revisit when the weather improves.

Cheers,

Andrew

a very good 1st image, you should be pleased with it.

maybe you have pushed the processing a little bit, but nothing stopping you having another play with the subs again to see what it turns out like next time.its all about experimentation

Yes a good start. More data will bring out more detail.

Maybe a bit over processed, but this is easily done.

I fiddle too much, and end up going back to my 1st "quick / basic" processed image.
