M42

[Les Tilly]

well I added only 30 extra minutes to M42 and the running man then put them all together its a mix of 5 secs 30sec 2 min 30sec and 4 mins taken with my SV102ED and Canon 40D modified I think it needs more time but the wind has started to blow hard so it was time to pack up

Thanks for looking and comments welcome as thats how we learn

Well worth the wait Les

I'm hoping to eventually get somewhere close to that with my current M42 WIP lost 2 hours of subs lastnight becuase i forgot to take the focusing mask off the scope after changing from the 1000D to the modded 350D by the time i noticed it was too late and eventually abandoned the night to the clouds at 2.30 am ...

Deep red colour with lovely smooth detail and not over stretched. Very nice. ??could do with a colour balance tweak.
