Description

Took a new attempt at the Great Orion nebula, M42. Two exposures, one for the core, one for the nebulosity. 10 second exposures for the core, stacked, 31 of them. 180 second exposures for the nebulosity, stacked, 30 of them. 31 Flats. 41 Bias (Master). No Darks, I dithered every 3rd image. Captured with an 80mm F7.5 APO, with 0.8x Focal Reducer (480 F6) with a Canon T4i (unmodified) on an Orion Sirius, with guiding in PHD2. BackyardEOS was the capture software with dithering.
