M42 Orion Nebula

Hello!

I’m very new to astrophotography and have only captured two targets so far since starting last December. The Orion Nebula is my very first target, and below are the details of this image.

• Gear used: WO SpaceCat61, WO 32mm guide scope, ASI2600MC pro (2025 ver.), AM5N mount, ASIair plus, anti-due heater strips. 
• The data was captured from my front yard (bortle7) using 60 X 30 second and 60 X 300 second subframes
• Toal integration time : 5.5 hours over 1 night
• The image was stacked (no calibration frames) and initially stretched in PixInsight, with final post-processing done in Photoshop.
