Hi,
I have post a new image of the M42 taken on last friday(21 Jan 2005) on changi dark site in the Album. It was taken using Clement Goh Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D through my Sky-Watcher 6" F5 Newtonian at Prime Focus. Image process using PhotoShop to stack 7 images (Jpeg format) of 5sec to 30sec exposure unguided at ISO 1600.

The 30sec exposure shot can see a little bit of the running man nebula, but after stacking, noise reduction and brightness adjustment... thanks to the near full moon, it was gone... :( :(

The link is: http://www.singastro.org/album_pic.php?pic_id=338

Have a nice day.

Hi,
I try the M42 again on 11 Feb 2004. This time I take 4 images of 93s + 63s + 30s + 15s @ ISO800 and I now can see the running man. :) I think I'll get a better running man if I take a 2 minutes exposure. Anyway, didn't remove much of the noise between the running man and M42, so that the running man is still visible.

Below is the link to the latest M42 image:

Have a nice day.
