[cknjj]

Hi all,

being sometime since I contribute some images, anyway, me & my
buddy (AStroSiao) decided to try our luck last nit, And guess what?
We go lucky!

Please see attached M42 taken with 80mm APO, unguided, 30sec exp.
with modded 450D. Center portiom burnt out....but still a great nite out!

hey bro, glad to see u've finally managed to catch some good data. stars look good and crisp. may need to do a bit of colour balancing (a bit on the red side). good to take some shorter exposures (5-10 seconds) to mask with core if you do not like it overexposed. keep shootin'!

Oh boy! Nice one CK, good to see you put the 450D to actions! Did you use the clip-on H-Alpha filter?
