My first M42

[Deep]

The last few days ,
my astronomy professor had bring me to the Malaysia National Observatory or Langkawi National Observatory
to learn on how to do Astrophotography and image processing.
This is one of the image I took during that time and this is my first time using my DSLR to capture a deep sky object
since I join the astronomy club in my university for 2 month plus.

BTW , this is actually my 1st astrophotography.

Hope I get some comment for this

I think that's a great effort any way, let alone for your first EVER DSO!!

Well done...Certainly makes my first effort (of the same target) look pretty dismal.

Excellent!

Excellent first effort, very nice core which isn't too overexposed and shows lots of detail, keep up the good work.

Looks fantastic Deep. I've never even thought about imaging, but I would be very happy with that image.
