I got another chance to shoot M-42 under very dark skies with my new istDL. This time I used a 350mm f/6.3 telephoto. This is a single 4 min exp at iso 800, noise reduction on.
I have about 6 or 7 images at various times but need to get a friend to stack them for me. I don't have software and my computer wion't hack it!!

I'm just a starting astronomer, and wanted to see what I could do to improve your photo. I managed to improve some aspects of it, but defiantly overdid others. Seemed a reasonable tradeoff for about 40 min of experimenting.
