I haven't imaged anything since early October. The sky doesn't clear up unless I'm at work. What a drag!! Last night I caught a break. I image M42 every year. Usualy it's a wide shot but this time I thought I'd try to image the core of this star making machine. It's also my first attempt at narrowband imaging.
C8 @ 6.3 perched on an EM200
ST2000 w/ SII, Ha, OIII for RGB
Guided with an ST402 and a TV76
About 2 hours of data. Image aquired and stacked with Maxim 4.11. Color combined and processed with Photoshop CS
Hope you like it and comments are always welcome.
Thanks
