Description

M42 with PixInsight in the hands of a Master

As an experiment I sent my M42 data to Niall MacNeill for processing in PixInsight, I plan, once retired and have more time, to purchase PixInsight as it is the way to go with post processing. So Niall ran my data through his PI and here are the results. Please compare it to my Star Tools version. I still have a lot of practice with gathering the data but I am looking forward to working towards these types of results. I think Niall should have posted this himself.

Thank you Niall for the basic lesson in PixInsight.
