Description

M42, The Orion Nebula

New to astrophotography and this is my revisit of M42 from early morning of September 27, 2015. My first shot of M42 was back in March 2015, but only took 6 images at 45 sec. This image is ~30x4min exposures @ ISO 800.

I need to take some flats and integrate them in. Probably later this week.

Imaging Gear:

Atlas EQ-G

Orion ED80

Sony a6000, unmodified

Baader UHC-S Nebula filter

Orion 0.8x focal reducer

Autoguider:

Orion Starshoot

Orion ST80

MacBook running phd

Processed with DSS and LightRoom

Captured from a heavy light polluted area, so I'm really amazed at the filters capabilities.
