M42 - First of the season

[Dragon_Astro]

Was great to be out in the early hours, seeing all the winter targets swing back into view.

I’ve always loved seeing Orion return, usually greeted with a “hello old friend” on his chilly seasonal return.

Testing out my Zwo ASI482mc uncooled, on the SW 150P and HEQ5

Captured in SharpCap and stacked using  AsiStack (a great bit of software, much more simple to use than DSS). Only a tiny bit of processing needed in Astrosurface, cropping and levels.

Only 70 x 8s at unity gain 210.

No darks or flats, quick test afterall.
