M46/NGC2438

I thought this would be a nice first real target for my new imaging camera - Orion Deep Space Imager II

Never quite realized how small the nebula was though....

Anyway I am quite pleased with the result, I had to use short subs due to the wind so this is a mix of mostly 60second with about 6 or so 120 second subs thrown in. I think it was 1hr20mins in total Oh and I used a 12nm Ha filter as well.....

Any processing tips gladly accepted as I am completly new to B/W & Ha imaging.

It may be small but its perfectly formed...( unlike me ) ... so what do you think of the camera?

Tha camera is nice, very easy to use as it only has an exposure setting! Feels nice and solid with a big heatsink for the peltier element. It also seems to be very sensitive and I dont think I will really be able to use it without some form of LPR filter, just as well I bought an Ha Filter!
