Finally got myself a new mount !!! EQ6-R this is the first clear night and first data with it.
Ive had some issues while setting up, and getting used to NINA was a bit more complicated then I expected, however still was pretty easy to fix everything and Im very impressed with its performance.
The jump from a star adventurer to a Go-To system is just such a great feeling.

Equipment used:
Full Spectrum 650D
Sky-Watcher Evoguide 50ED
Starizona EvoFF v2
Sky-watcher EQ6-R
L-enhance filter.

90 second subs at iso 800
Calibrated with flats, darks, and biases.
Edited in Siril and Photoshop.

How did you get HDR with 90s subs?

But how didn't your core overexpose with 90s subs?

The thing is, idrc if your M42 image has a blown out core, it's just nicer to see the details in the core as opposed to it being overexposed.

Both can look great though, for different reasons; a nice detailed core is appealing to look at because you can see the Trapezium and all the ionization surrounding it, whereas a blown out core can be cool because it shows just how absurdly bright and powerful M42's nuclear furnace really is.

Both can be cool, it's just my assumption that most people prefer a detailed M42 core.
