Description

My second attempt at imaging M42.

Gain 120, 3 minute sub exposures (Ha 1 hour and RGB 1 hour), Bortle 5 and moon phase approximately 80%.

First time getting all my equipment properly working in my backyard and all the channels acquired in focus.

Darks 15 frames and flats 25 frames.

Stacked in deep sky stacker and channels combined in photoshop. No major post processing done other than the adjustment of levels and curves.

Will upload revisions as I learn more about post processing in Photoshop.
