AT 66ED - M42 H- alpha

I wish I had color data but my initial h-alpha of M-42 taken two nights ago (full moon) looks promising ) This was taken with an ST2000xm, AstroTech 66ed with WO 0.8x reducer (seems to work well)... we'll see how much "blue bloat" there is.

Nice shot Joe! 8)
What Ha filter are you using?

Hi Joe!

That's purty! Nice to see what an AT66ED can do (I have one!) :0)

I'm looking forward to the color, but it's a stunning image in Ha all by itself. That scope looks like a winner.

Joe,

What was the exposure lenght?

Thanks,
Russ

Looks great Joe The little AstroTech looks like it does a fine job.

Hey, I forgot... I did manage 15 minutes of green and blue so I was able to get a colored image It uses the H-alpha exposure as the luminance and as the red in the LRGB image. I need to flat field or touch up the dust blotches in the green and blue channels.

Not bad for a night with the full moon only 10-15 degrees away
