Orion Nebula in [SII], Ha and [OIII]

by Richard Crisp


conditions were clear and cold last night and very moony. seeing wasn't bad but wasn't great either. I had a bit of dew here and there so I guess the transparency may have been affected somewhat in the earlier part of the evening.

I was planning to shoot more data in IC410 but the moon was a tad too close for comfort so I postponed capturing that until another night. I ended up shooting some M42 in the wee hours of the morning while sleeping. I queued up 20 exposures of 90seconds each in each filter and went to bed

when I got up this morning this is what I found in the hopper:
