M42 Orion Nebula

[Crackabarrel]

Hi All,

My recent efforts on M42 Orion Nebula, due to it being pretty low on the horizon and an unfortunately placed lamp post I was only able to get 38min of subs.

WO73, IDAS LPS D2, Nikon D5300, HEQ5Pro

19 x 2min subs dithered, flats, darks, bias, seems the flats didn't apply due to moving the scope and camera between imaging and flats sessions.

Processed in DSS & PS2020

Recently picked up Astroflat Pro and Topaz Denoise, pretty satisfied with both, this being the first image I've used them.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent job with the data available to you.  Well worth coming back to so that you have enough data to pull out the outer areas.

Thanks, looking forward to coming back to it next time Orion is better placed.
