DSLR M42.

[MattJenko]

Here is my latest effort with my humble Canon 450d. I have had some very useful processing advice from some forum members for this, so thought it only right to post the results of that help in here:

Skywatcher ED80, HEQ5, ST80/ASI120M guider. 24 x 10 minute subs with a few 20 sec subs for the core. DSS for stacking, PixInsight for main processing and then blended and touched up in Photoshop.

Am on the verge of convincing myself of the need of an LRGB CCD system, but that has nothing to do with the Canon that is working miracles for me at the moment:

Thanks

One terrific capture. Very impressive. What were these helpful hints?

Very, very good.  Excellent to see the dust.

One of the best M42s I've seen, no core burn out at all and a lovely delicate colour scheme.

Amazing work, love the dust and the running man looks really great to me.  The processing to control the core is great as well

Fantastic. You`ve come a very long way in such a short time haven't you?

Mighty Impressed! .

Hi Rune,

Thanks - none of it would have been possible without a lot of help. There is an awful lot of great information and wonderful goodwill out there, just glad it hasn't all gone to waste .

The hints/advice were given in this thread : http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/235403-orion-nebula-critique-required/

As you can see, my first efforts were some way off the final version.

That's a really good image and well done to get 10 min subs from a DSLR!!
