Rain Rain Go Away

I feel like it's been raining for six months straight. I haven't been able to get out and photograph the sky for quite some time. I have been using the time to improve my processing skills. Here is a reprocessed M42.

Its about 12 minutes of data in 30s subs with the 30D through a WO 80 ED-II mounted on a GM-8. The noise is a little bothersome, but i guess there really isn't a lot of data there. Stacked with Deepsky Stacker and processed in Photoshop CS3.

Thanks for looking!

I was surprised I actually captured this!

That looks pretty nice Kerry! 8)
Next time, try to get longer exposures... (you might need to get a special control cable for this though, as the regular USB cable has a limitation of 30secs)

Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!
