Description

M42

Not a great seeing night, 30% of the subs were culled (clouds)

50, 60 second unguided subs on a modded Nikon D800e (Spencers) at ISO 3200

I should have shot 15, 20 second subs for the core and blended in PS but got lazy.

Supporting files, 100 bias, 100 flats, 30 darks

Processed in PixInsight and used PS for luminosity masking for structure and tone.
