M42

The weather has been very unstable this last month so I have not had alot of imaging time. I did get a little window through the clouds so I took M42.

Image specs:
AP 155 EDF f/7
ST-8XE HaRGB 60:25:25:25 min

Processed in Maxin and PS CS. Even though the color histiogram is pretty balanced I think the image is a little off -- I'll try to adjust this.

I pushed the data to bring out faint portions.

Hope your weather is better than mine,

hi,

i like the image a lot. The green of the nebula shows well in the central portions and the Halpha in the outer portions. It's sharp and not overly processed.

clear skies,

Tom,

Thanks,
