Description

I took this 25 minute exposure of M42 using my DSI-IIC OSC using an Optolong NBF, and Pentax 210mm zoom lens. I focused on Rigel using a homemade Bhatinov mask made by etching a CD Jewel case and mounting on the front of the lens. I had previously used PHD polar static alignment to set up the mount, and piggybacked the camera/lens on my SCT. No autoguiding was used to obtain this image. The final image processed in Penumbra v0.6 was touched up to remove exposure artefacts from the burned out core and brightest stars.
