M42 - 10x180s - 10x010s - 10x005s
Here’s my last image from Thursday night’s Danville trip. The wind had picked up more and the clouds started coming through so I had to limit this one to only 30 minutes. I had to meridian flip in the middle and I was surprised to see that DeepSkyStacker was able to align them without issues. I was also surprised to easily pick up the horsehead with my stock Canon in exposures as short as 60 seconds.
M42 Area – 10x180s + 10x10s + 10x5s (10 and 5 seconds for the trapezium area) – 32.5 minutes
