M42 Orion Second Try

[MChandaue]

Finally had some clear skies Monday and managed to get some good data on M42. I think this is much better than my first attempt.

Amazing shot(s). 

Would love some details about how you shot it.

It’s 44 x 2 minute subs 20 darks and 30 flats. Unmodded Canon 80D Orion CF80T on an EQ5 with an Astronomik clip in LPS filter. Iso was 1600. Took 30 x 10 second subs for the core. Processed in Pixinsight then core applied with a layer mask in photoshop.
