M42 from ASIGN Observatory II

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

M42 from ASIGN Observatory II

Post by Barry »

Success! ASIGN Observatory II got a full night of imaging in last night. Good seeing, late moon and nice and cold.

This is a combined stack of 21 exposures of five minutes each exposure. Trying to make sense of the software was challenging, but the end result was worth the hours of processing. The object is M42, the Great Orion Nebula.
