First M42

[Mark62]

I took this earlier this year it's my first go at imagine.

It was taken using a skywatcher 200 odd on a HEQ5 with a cannon 1200 DSLR.

It's 24 subs 30s @ 1600 ISO and 15 darks no lights or bias.

I've been trying to process in gimp since I took it to no avail.

Processed if photoshop elements 13 and found it easier to use. Cores not brilliant but I'm happy with it.

Thanks for looking

Great 1st attempt at the M42. I do admit that the M42 is my favourite DSO and one I never get tired of looking at.
