Second try on Orion M42 fast Before clouds came

[luis]

I shoot with 550D in prime focus on the focuser of my ED120/900

1 single shoot jpeg with 28 sec (will try raw on the next)

ISO 800 (got a bit of noise)

No filters.

Mount: CG5 GT with no guiding

(My first M42 got better). The photo was made in the center of poluited city.

Well done!

Focus lookes dead on to me.

Don't worry about the noise as long as you can take a heap more subs and try and take a few dark frames too. Then stacking will solve this.

Defently go for RAW!

Looking forward to the next lot!

Very nice. This was captured in the city? Wow!

Thats good going considering the light polution factor. I was observing this myself earlier this evening, or I should say last night. I'm interested to know how the colours come out - is it simply the extended exposure time that reveals the true colours of the nebula? Because every time I've observed this, it is a green/grey cloud (although I can make nearly as much detail as this photo with my scope) ?

Thanks,

I hadn´t time to focus properly, before the clouds.

Very nice. This was captured in the city? Wow!

In fact, I live in the center of a poluited city, my street has transit cars, buses, all the time, even at night, and most of the time have bad seeing conditions, so its dificult to have low turbulence and good transparence for Deep Sky.

Neilius, I made this image without any filter, so your scope must give excelent results, but try to give much longer exposures than I did.
