M42 @ 200mm revisited

[johnfosteruk]

I added another 5 mins of 2.5s exposures to my data from the 22nd last night, which is nice to do, the difference in noise is striking, more colour to play with too. Just need to kill that gradient some more now.

 

New version through the EP

Old version for reference

Wider view

An arty thing I stumbled on after mis-clicking on the minimum slider in Photoshop (pointless but I like it)

Very nice! Always interesting to see another picture of m42. Actually i kinda like the art picture as well.

The wider view is captured the area nicely, stars hold their shape better too.

Thanks both, I'm getting there slowly but surely.

Plenty of detail visible there.
