Description

First time I've tried to image M42. Kept image subs short to avoid burn out. Also have some NB data and will try and process that soon.

Been very busy with new job, but now posted a Hubble palette version, with about 2.5 hours in each of Ha, SII, OIII. The core has more detail in the RGB version, but the NB shows off the extended region better. Think I prefer the RGB version, but may be because the colours are more natural.
