Description

This image of M42 I made with frames of 35 seconds exposure, and frames of 60 seconds exposure. I applied techniques to pop up the O3 signal to increase the blue, shown in a video by Teagan Grable.

This image is a small milestone in my understanding of the Celestron Rasa 8 astrograph. This telescope is very fast (f/2), but with the L-eNhance filter, frames of 5 till 15 seconds do not deliver enough signal. I noticed that in an earlier version of M42. That's why I revisited this beautiful nebula.

Description: I made the blue less purple. As a side effect, the red of the surrounding clouds became deeper, which I like.
