One evening I was trying to take images of various targets with my 80ED scope and didn't really get anywhere so in a last throw of the dice I decided to take a few exposures of the Orion Nebula. I set my camera to ISO 800 and ended up with 16 x 90 second usable images.
Whilst my image taking was a rather quick and messy process as I hadn't planned to image the nebula, my processing was not. I read up all sort of guides to try and work out how best to bring out the nebula in all its glory. I wanted to try and capture some of the fainter dust clouds but also didn't want to over expose the core. The result all several hours of processing work is below and for a first attempt I am incredibly proud of it.
