Description

Overall, moderately satisfied... just wish I was able to take more subs. The image feels kind of washed out, and I'm not sure if its because I just need more exposure, or something else. The important thing is that it is an improvement on my last M42 image.

Edit: I fixed the "washed out" aspect I spoke of earlier, and brought in a bit more detail, granted at the expense of revealing more noise.

Edit 2: Ok, so I reprocessed everything in DSS using Median Kappa-Sigma Clipping as the stacking algorithm, and I think it produced much better results. I also was able to incorporate a few more subs so now 183 are used in the final image.
