I finally obtained some flats to reduce and Ha data to combine with the M42 data that I took a couple of weeks ago. The STL11000XM is not very sensitive in the Ha region of the spectrum. Still, it brings out some of the fainter peripheral nebulosity.

AP 155 EDF f/7
4" field flattener
STL11000XM
(HaL)RGB (150,100):40:40:40 min -- all Bin x 1

Very sweet. I agree that Ha shows a lot of texture around the main area of nebulosity, and really adds to the overall image. Beautiful job as well maintaining the core.

Wow! The Ha data really finished off the image nicely. That STL looks to be an amazing camera!

adding the Ha data really pulled out the detail in the cloud region between M42 and the running man...
Terrific shot Thomas..
