First M42

[Marvin Jenkins]

Now I know that on face value perhaps I should be posting this Beginners Astrophotography but, I have been given some generous help. I took the first single picture more as a test than anything and I was gobsmacked by the image on the back of the camera. I have not the faintest about processing and assumed a single image could not be improved, needs loads of subs, darks stacking etc then a master class in Ps and PI.

I sent the pic to Bukko who looked over it with a critical eye and then past it on to his son (who I have never met) He used up some of his precious time to get the most out of it and I am humbled as well as elated. I can't believe what has come from a single frame with my basic gear and the magic dust of someone who knows what they are doing. Can't tell you how great it is to have help.
