Description

M42 with IC 434 and NGC 2024

My best integration so far of M42, given I have no mount or tracker yet.

Astrotracer on the K-3 II allowed 8s subs at 135mm (202mm FF Equiv).

Was very excited to get decent acuity outside the core of M42, with good separation on Running Man and Flame, and to finally get a glimpse of the Horsehead nebula with such short subs; probably helps that the Pentax DSLR's have pretty decent HA response compared to others.

Mixture of subs from Bortle Class 5 & 6 skies from the Red Bluff lookout and my backyard, respectively.

Calibration, integration & LP removal done in APP, with cleanup in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
