M42 and Horsehead Nebulae FOV Test

[Carole]

I took this last month more as a test of FOV but only got very little data before it sank behind the trees.
Wasn't going to bother to process it, but being at a loose end during the Coronavirus lockdown I decided to "give it a go". 

Atik460EX and Samyang 135mm F2 lens.

Ha 600secs x 3
RGB 2 x 100secs each (unbinned as anything binned blew out the sensor with this fast lens).
So total imaging time 35 minutes.

Thanks Roger.  I never expected to get an image out of it.

Very good Carole; well worth processing.
Look at all that nebulosity.

You must be glad you decided to process it; it looks great!  That lens is working really well for you; can't wait to see what you do with it over the summer.

Thanks Roberto.  Yes I am very pleased with it, but there's not much suitable for wide field ATM.
