Description

I've been toying with my new f/3.9 scope... Taking a good image of M42 is certainly a challenge with this new scope, and it's certainly different than taking images of any other object because of its brightness.

This image was captured at ISO800 with this sub setup:

10 X 60 seconds

10 X 45 seconds

10 X 30 seconds

10 X 15 seconds

Total: 40 subs at 37.5 seconds each, totalling 1500 seconds of exposure time.
