Yup it's working. Nice image! Can't wait to see it in color!

Here's an old Ha image of M42 I tool last year with the ASI1600MM, with improved processing to further enhance the nebulosity.

I was indeed hesite to go out to shoot, coz very tired after a days work. But the clear skies were not to miss. Back home processing the sub exposures and found out I made a mistake. I should have used dithering (either manual or auto) to mitigate the terrible walking noise patterns from my poor M5...

Wow...impressive especially you managed to catch the faint Horsehead in the same frame :) Thanks! Super stoked to get the horsehead too, all credits to the samyang 135mm f2 lens, sucks in so much light. Using the same data set but with 2x drizzle, I also did a heavily cropped image of M42. https://...

Haha yes, i'm quite happy with it. Except the fact that image acquisition software doesn't support Sony cameras. I'm considering getting a modded nikon.

Looked like both of us were doing the same thing last night!
Very nice pics from last night, especially M45 and the hyades cluster. Great work!

Puppis rises high before day break. So many celestial jewels in this milky way constellation! M46, M47 and some more https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3eFg7ntrycX9gbIOR869nx9Mw9jmM89qMrhodFkxzqyhNGI5Wb3i4Jwvgkp7QnBnx7w8kEx2oTvYoW2uCJacoUX8Ef6bJwHv8jTZXE4NFtbi4Ueoa9s4kq_LwH16g4RKzCoWZp0vjaVS...

Quite a good amount of nebulosity in both M16 and M17. I can see a bit of the pillars of creation in the eagle nebula.
The mild purple fringing around the stars can be easily fixed in Lightroom.
