Orion Nebula M42 from Punggai

[shirox]

On friday night, it was a treat to everyone who was there and during that short period of time, it was said to be one of the best nights for Punggai.
I have taken some data of this famous nebula and instead of directly posting the processing photos,
i thought it might be interesting to post different exposures of the image as taken, unprocessed.

Images taken with:
GM8, FSQ85EDX, EOS500D (modded and cooled), guided with mini borg and qhy5

15 secs

Will post the final image after processing after I have recovered from my ZZZZZZ sickness lol
