Description

Got a new ZWO ASI183MC camera & spent the weekend playing with it. M42 is getting too low to image well from my backyard, but it made a convenient test target for a couple hours each night! The framing is a bit weird and there's a satellite trail running through the middle, but overall I was happy with the results considering it's a new camera and there are always bugs to work out. Basically a composite blended image of 37x30s and 26x120s stacks to retain some of the core detail.
