M42 with compact camera

[sgazer]

So many amazing M42 images on here, this doesn't come even close, however hopefully it's ok considering it's taken with a Panasonic FZ200 compact camera on a Celestron SLT mount. Only managed to grab 3 frames unfortunately before the clouds rolled in. Although I had RAWs, I found the jpgs gave me a better result. Taken at 600mm, f2.8, ISO200, 60s. Thanks for looking. I hope to do more work with the FZ200 as the nights get longer here 'down-under'.

That's a pretty good result - nice level of detail - well done!

I agree - it's come out well

Yes, good job, not easy with a point-and-shoot but you've captured plenty of detail and some nice colours!
