Description

Built my first astrophotography rig with a decent mount and scope and am still learning the ropes when it comes to imaging and post processing. This was my first attempt at capturing light frames and stacking them with dark frames. Orion is very bright and the noise is a lot lower in this images compared to some others I have been processing, I think the core of the nebula is overexposed and I want to experiment with working with different exposure values to see if I can remove the overexposed core in the future.
