45x45s + 50x120s + 30x45s + 20x180s
An HDR of my data from last year and last night! I'm gonna get probably 20hrs on this target before I find smth new, but I hope you like it!

Processed my new data with my data from last year, 4.4hrs total, not quite as good as my last year process bcs im a bit rusty with m42 but its all good with me!

My last year process had more depth but less colour data, this year has more colour data but less depth ahah

My Gear:

Mount: EQ6-R
Scope: WO GT71
Camera: Canon EOS 1500D
Guided
Controlled with a laptop running N.I.N.A.

@proper spruce @inner nexus Yeah idk exactly where the blue came from, all I did was just saturate it in processing (both saturation and C channel) and it just appeared as a yellowy-blue, so then I used SCNR to get that blue. I quite like it yeah

#

I've seen the blue in running man neb before, but not as much in m42. I've seen it maybe twice before
