M42

[Rkonrad]

Hi all,

This is a more unusual view of M42. With this target, I usually use the filmdev option but thought this time I would do autodev (which doesn't like the blown out core). The result is a tremendously equalized image with the nebula almost not front and centre!

This is from New Mexico at ITelescope observatory. The scope is a 11 inch RASA and camera is a ZWO ASI071 Pro Color (one shot colour).

Exposure: 18x150 sec (45 min) and core 10x10 sec (100 sec)

Thanks for looking

Richard
