the bright stars in the Trapezium really severely limited my exposure time in Near IR, otherwise the sensor would bloom terribly. I ended up taking 15 second exposures. I had to take 100 of those subexposures to get 25 minutes total exposure.
the Halpha and [SII] data were 25 exposures of 60 seconds each.
each exposure with this camera, IMG6303, is 12.3MB. So I had a lot of raw data to crunch.
Even so, the data is a bit grainy so I may shoot more data another night soon. Who'd have thought that 150 exposures would be too few?
