M42 - Quickie

[brendant]

Imaged the other night with the Tal-2, 6" f8 Newt and 400D at prime focus unguided on the EQ5. Very noisy and some horrible gradients, kept it small to make it half presentable. Will have another go if the weather ever clears up again.

9 Min's 15 seconds total exposure through a brief gap in the clouds, 8 x 30 Seconds 7 @ 45 Seconds all at ISO800.

Hello brendant,

I like it. And it is really good for such a short time exposure.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Will revisit and hopefully manage something better, season is early yet, only gets above the neighbours trees around midnight at the moment .

That is very nice. Managed to bag a lot of detail on short subs. Good colour

I love this Image Brendan. It is nice and compact, and a great balance

between the central and outer regions. A superb Image from such short

set of subs. You engineered them very well.

Lovely shot Brendan, nicely framed.

Thanks guys,

Ron, it took a "lot" of tweaking to get the info out - 2 nights, don't think there is any more in there but did not manage the uneven illumination and gradients, maybe another time as the processing skills get better.
