Tyler,
Another beautifully rendered wide field image. But I have a whole different line of questioning regarding your multiple exposure times. I know it's common on M42 to expose for both the Trapezium and the nebula, but was wondering about your approach here. You really did get a lot out of this for the times, and if that helped in any way. (I know I sometimes have multiple times, but it's usually because I'm constantly pressing my luck on tracking.)
Thanks,
Larry

Rolando,
I felt like I could fly right into that shot.

Jason,
Nice grab on that one. Really makes me want to go with a longer focal length and go after similar targets.

Luca,
That is one big field! And you still have lots of detail even for that time. Nice going. And congratulations on the new gear. Looks like you'll have fun!

Hoping to make Warren Keller look good...**grin**

Paul,
I think you done Warren proud. Great processing. Question: are you using PixInsight LE or the latest Standard Beta version? I'm curious how you're finding all the features if it's the new Standard edition.

Larry

Great view! There certainly is an awful lot to look at in that field.

Luca,
Another excellent image--lots and lots of detail for such a big FOV! Looks 3-D. Regarding the flats, are you also taking darks for the flats? Just wondering if the flats are adding noise that might be eliminated from the flats themselves?

That's quite a run you've had with all of these images. All are impressive, and I particularly like this one--nice detail.
