Sterrenland Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Took this the other night while waiting for Orion to rise...a quick and dirty capture of M45. In total I took 42 minutes of 120 sec exposures...I'm amazed at the amount of nebulosity that's visible, especially as conditions weren't brilliant with gusty wind, a 44% moon slinking down towards the west and my frozen fingers. Guiding was pretty bad all evening...between 2.5 and 1.7. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroarg Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 nice capture - you'd got plenty of the surrounding dust! I'm now obsessed with bringing out the dust that many aren't aware is there, or drop the black point far too low... well done, especially for just 42 mins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
