Orion Nebula - Messier 42 & Messier 43 2019-12-02
Aberkenfig, South Wales
Lat +51.542 Long -3.593
Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian Reflector, Olympus E410 at prime focus. EQ6 Syntrek Mount.
Out of 28 frames captured (50s at ISO 800), 23 were used in the processing. Also 10 dark frames.
Processed with Deep Sky Stacker and final levels adjusted with G.I.M.P.
A night of very good transparency enabled higher exposure times on this attempt. Having the target to the west of the meridian also helped. This is where the light pollution is a little less intrusive at my location. A fairly reasonable outcome.
