First Image from Rebuilt Obs-M42

[MeyGray3833]

Hello,

I hope you are all having a good Christmas and will have a Happy New Year.

This is my first official image from my shifted and rebuilt observatory that I am now sharing with my brother in a much darker location. To get to this point has taken nearly two years, so even though the image has some registration issues and camera artifacts, I am happy to be at this stage. It is also 3and 1/2 years since I really processed a full image. I started an M17 image which will have to be finished next year due to the bad weather we have had. Onwards and upwards!

Anyway, I hope you find something to like about this image of M42.

congratulations on getting your obsy sorted,

must be a huge relief, and to top it off you have

treated us with a nice m42.

well done Paul

Thanks for the comments and the likes. 

As you all know, it is a labour of love! 

Looking forward to tweaking my setup now that I can fully see how it is performing, as I have picked up on some issues. 

Keep looking up!

Hi, was not happy with the original, somewhat of a minor rework.

Thanks for looking.

LOL! Another repro, tried to tame the core. Image a bit softer and overall a lot nicer I think.

Use the original link or this one. I won't do another one and torture you guys and gals any further!
