Description

My first attempt at this target...

Guiding was amazing last night (RMS .3"), but the battery let me down and I got something less than half of the subs I intended.  (On the plus side I woke up early and got what are probably the very best subs of M42 that I have ever taken -- the stars were phenomenal this morning at about 5:30am!)

This target just barely fits the field of view, which has led to some stacking artifacts on the edge.  I really need to learn more about processing.  Still, this is a frequently imaged target (by others), and I'm not too ashamed with this first attempt.
