First m42 with filter

[6footgeek]

Quick edit of an hour capture I got on m42 last night - was meant to be imaging the Western Veil all night, but a windows update on my pc rebooted it just after I went to bed. Anyway at about 4am I remoted in and pointed it at Orion. This is ~ 1 hour of exposures at iso 800 for 180sec. Overcooked the vibrance, but hey, im excited

From the ever polluted skies of Birmingham, UK.

Canon 450d

Guiding with zwo mini guider + 120mm mini

Leaving a tiff here with just light pollution removed and bg calibration if anybody wants to play

That's an excellent first attempt for M42

Thanks! I got 15 minutes on it earlier this year without a filter / my mount - just on a star adventurer but it didnt go well!
The moon wasnt helping this shot last night at 4am...
